GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The slide is first prepared and then placed on the microscope stage. The mirror reflects the light onto the stage through the condenser. The lens through which an individual sees the slide is called the eyepiece. There are objectives of different magnification power such as 10x, 40x and 100x.

Detailed explanation-2: -Holding the microscope slide by the edges, place it on the microscope stage (the cover slip should be on top). Slowly move the microscope slide so the specimen is in the center right under the microscope objective lens.

Detailed explanation-3: -The stage is the region of the microscope where the slide is placed. It is a flat surface on which slides are displayed. The slides are thin glass sheets used for holding items examined under a microscope. The slides are held in place by stage clips.

Detailed explanation-4: -Before putting a slide on the stage-turn on the illumination & set the light to a comfortable level. IT IS NOT NECESSARY to use the light at maximum-to do so can be very tiring to the eyes. Rotate the 4X objective into position.

Detailed explanation-5: -All microscopes are designed to include a stage where the specimen (usually mounted onto a glass slide) is placed for observation. Stages are often equipped with a mechanical device that holds the specimen slide in place and can smoothly translate the slide back and forth as well as from side to side.
