This would depend on the type of slide and type of microscope; however, typically you turn on your light source (either electric or sometimes a mirror to reflect the ambient light), switch your magnification to the lowest power (usually scanning at 4X) place the slide on the stand and hold it with two clips, adjust the height of the stand with the gross adjustment knob (larger) until the image comes into view, then use the fine adjustment knob to focus the image. You can then change magnification power as high as your microscope will go. Note: If your microscope has a 1000X oil immersion setting, make sure to follow the instructions for oil immersion or you can damage your lense. Also, once you get past the 10X, only use the fine adjustment knob or you can damage the lense.
