4 - Place specimen in holder
Lower the stage (Q) by turning the coarse focus (M) counter clockwise. The specimen holder (F) has a spring loaded curved finger (2) opened using the knob (1). Open it and slide the specimen into place against the back and left side of the specimen holder. Gently release the knob (1) and allow the finger to fit snug against the corner of the slide. Be careful - letting the curved finger go suddenly can crack or damage the microscope slide.
