what is specimen?what do we use to view a specimen?
Answers
Answer:
Specimen or slide: The specimen is the object being examined. Most specimens are mounted on slides, flat rectangles of thin glass. The specimen is placed on the glass and a cover slip is placed over the specimen. This allows the slide to be easily inserted or removed from the microscope.
Today, most microscopes are called compound microscopes, and use two lenses for greater magnification. The upper lens is called the ocular lens or eyepiece, and the lower lens (or lenses, as there may be a choice of sizes) is called the objective lens.

Answer:
In clinical settings, light microscopes are the most commonly used microscopes. There are two basic types of preparation used to view specimens with a light microscope: wet mounts and fixed specimens. The simplest type of preparation is the wet mount, in which the specimen is placed on the slide in a drop of liquid.
