My Favorite Experiment

Out of all of the experiments we have done in Science so far, my favorite, with absolutely no contest, is using microscopes. In this experiment, my science class got to look at slices of a human body, one was unlabeled  the other was from an aorta. During this experiment, we learned safety rules that have to do with microscopes, such as never use the coarse adjustment knob when using the highest powered lens. We also learnt how to properly operate the stage clips, along with the lamp, nosepiece, and diaphragm. This lab also taught the class how things look up close, for example, when the aorta slide was first put in, my partner and I could barely see anything, but a few specks of dust, which we thought was part of the aorta. While the dust was extremely boring on the low and medium lenses, the high powered lens showed much detail, and was neat to look at before we found the aorta.
