      "In my practicum, I frequently used a microscope to examine and identify different microorganisms in samples. This involved preparing slides, adjusting microscope settings for optimal viewing, and documenting observations. I prepared microscope slides by fixing cells onto glass slides and then staining them using appropriate dyes such as Hematoxylin and eosin or crystal violet."
