Students in this course do not prepare their culture media or sterilize their glassware for we feel that the beginner-in bacteriology call use the limited time more advantageously in other directions.

THE BIICROSCOPE The microscope is a delicately adjusted instrument and great care should be exercised in using it to keep it in good condition. The following rules should be observed 1. When not in use keep in the case. Dust causes unusual wear if allowed to work into the mechanism. 2. Alcohol should never be used on the lacquered parts. If oily material is to be removed use xylol with gentle rubbing. 3. Should the stage or objectives become gummed with im- mersion oil or balsam it can be removed with lens paper moistened with xylol. 4. Use the plane mirror for daylight and the concave for arti- ficial light. 5. Regulate the amount of light by raising or lowering the Abbe condenser. This is done with a screw under left of stage. The higher the condenser the greater the amount of light. Dust in the eyepiece makes the field appear covered with specks. Wipe with lens paper. 6. Do not touch the surface of the lens with the fingers. 7. Objectives of one microscope should not be changed to another even of the same make. 8. To focus with the two highest powered objectives place object to be examined in center of stage. With eyes at the side at the level of the stage lower the objective with the coarse adjust- ment until it nearly touches the cover glass. Adjust mirror and condenser to give desired amount of light. Focus slowly upward with the fine adjustment until the object becomes clear. With the 112 or oil immersion objective a drop of cedar oil between the lens and the cover glass is necessary to prevent dispersion of light. 9. c he fine adjustment is used for bringing out details in very small objects consequently has a limited range and is me- chanically delicate. When the fine adjustment screw stops do not force it. 10. Never use oil with any but the oil immersion objectives. With Leitz microscopes the 112 objectives oil immersion are copper colored with nickel end. With Bausch Lomb microscopes the oil immersions are nickeled on the lower half. 11...
