Preparing Specimens
===Preparing Specimens===
To see an object clearly with a [[microscope ]] a [[specimen ]] must be prepared first.: 1. A small [[specimen ]] is placed on a glass [[slide]].: 2. A [[dye ]] is used to colour the specimen so it can be seen more easily under the [[microscope]].: 3. A cover slip is placed on the [[specimen ]] to flatten it.: 4. Tissue is used to absorb any excess [[dye]].: 5. The glass [[slide ]] is placed on the [[microscope ]] stage.
