A lab technician needed to make a wet mount slide of their cheek cells. The tech made his slide and placed it on the microscope stage. Then he got ready to view his cheek cells by following these procedures.

1. Looking through the eyepiece, the technician adjusted the diaphragm so field of vision was lit.
2. The technician looked at the stage from the side and lowered the body tube so the high power objective was almost touching the slide.
3. Looking into the eyepiece, he very slowly turned the coarse adjustment to bring the cells into focus.

What suggestion would you make to the technician to CORRECTLY use the microscope to view his cheek cells?
