B)the wet specimen should be covered with a coverslip.
C)the specimen can be opaque and up to 1mm in thickness.

E)if using the oil immersion lens, open the iris diaphragm to illuminate the specimen.

Accepted Answer

The statement "the specimen can be opaque and up to 1mm in thickness" is incorrect. The specimen should be thin enough to allow light to pass through and be visible under the microscope. It is recommended to use thin slices or sections of the specimen, or to dilute the sample if necessary.
