What happens to the position of an object when you view it through the microscope? In other words, how has its orientation changed? Upside down and backwards.
If an organism is moving across the field of view off to the right, which direction is the organism really moving? Left.
If the organism moved off to the right side from the field of view, which direction would you have to physically move the slide to locate it again? Right.
How does resolution (ability to clearly see surfaces of varying depths) change at higher power magnification as compared to lower power magnification? Better resolution. Note: depth of field usually decreases with higher magnification.
When you switched from low to higher power, what happened to the light intensity? Light intensity decreased: dimmer. Why did this happen? The field of view is smaller and the apparent size is larger, while the amount of light in the view is the same.

Width of letter "e" under low power:1.9 mm = 1900 µm.
Estimated diameter of red blood cell:.018 mm = 18 µm.
