Procedure for Microscopy

Using a dropper, place a few drops of the sample on a microscope glass slide (a sample of pond water or a small sample from the culture)

Gently cover the sample with a cover slip and mount on the microscope stage for viewing.

Start with low power and increase gradually to observe the specimen.
