If youre examing colors of thread that overlap on a microscope,how can you tell which color overlays another?

Adjust the fine focus (the smaller knob found next to or on the coarse focus on most microscopes). The purpose of the exercise is to learn to pull the focus in and out so you can see the different layers in thicker slides. As you adjust the focus you will be able to see which thread is on top.
