How do you observe a slide at low power in compound microscope?

To observe a slide at low power using a compound microscope, first, ensure the slide is securely placed on the stage and centered over the light source. Rotate the low-power objective lens into position, typically the shortest lens. Adjust the coarse focus knob to bring the specimen into view, and fine-tune the focus with the fine focus knob for clarity. Finally, use the stage adjustment knobs if needed to center the specimen within the field of view.
