Chapter 29.2, Problem 1MI
Summary Introduction
The isolation of microbes is important to obtain a single microbe in the population. As the microbes are almost present everywhere, it means that the environment contain more different species of microbes is available. The isolation is important to separate the desired microbe from the mixed population.

You move to the 40X lens and then again to the 100X lens by only rotating the turret (remember that the lenses are parfocal), without making any other adjustments to the microscope. c) After making your adjustments, you notice that the midline of the diatom is in focus while the remainder is blurry.
