Use a fluorescence microscope

As you are setting up the fluorescence microscope, Professor Johnson notices your choice and gently intervenes.

Professor Johnson: "Hold on a moment. While fluorescence microscopy is indeed a powerful tool, it might not be the best fit for observing wet mounts directly."

You: "But we thought it would give us the ability to see specific structures within our samples."

Professor Johnson: "You're right about that. However, let's consider the nature of wet mounts. They tend to have a lot of background noise due to the liquid medium, which can interfere with fluorescence imaging."

You reconsider your approach, thanking the professor for the advice and discuss alternative microscopy techniques with the other students.
