portage learning, BIO 171_lab notebook, Lab 1-4, latest lab procedures and objectives. Objective: The objective section for each lab notebook will provide an organized overview that experiment. The main purpose of the objective section is to keep the lab notebook organized and conveniently have access to a summary of completed work for each lab module when looking back on the notes. For the purpose of lab 1, this objective is to cover exactly how to maintain a proper, thorough, and well-organized lab notebook. Keeping a well-organized lab notebook is very important and will be very useful. The lab notebook will serve as a template to keep important details regarding experimental records, procedures, notes and results. Procedure: 1. Review the different parts and components of a light microscope 2. Load slide of sample onto microscope 3. Select magnification 4. How to make necessary adjustments to optimize sample visualization Notes: • A magnifying glass is comparable to a microscope in terms of its function, both tools require: 1)lens – magnify object 2)an object 3)light source • Standard light microscope: uses a standard halogen light bulb for the lumination source • Basic Parts of a standard light microscope: o Eyepiece: (oculars) ▪ adjustable to fit width of eyes 3. General Lab Safety: NEVER eat or drink in the lab ▪ Contamination risks Use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) ▪ Latex or thermal gloves (application dependent, protection for cold or hot conditions) ▪ Eyewear protection ▪ Lab coat (protect from risk of spilling chemicals, instructor wearing serves as reminder to wear)
