I am a little confused as to how I can make this sentence:

I use a microscope to look at the microbe.


I guess this is the best way to say this:

.i mi cu zgana lo jurme le cmactatci

At first I used pilno to say that I would use the microscope more like
I had originally envisioned the sentence in English but then I
couldn't figure out I could use that to say I 'used' the microscope to
'look' at the microbe.  There aren't enough sumti x spaces for that or
any direct way to relate that x1(I) am using x2(microscope) in manner
x3(to look at)....... a microbe..... right?
