GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Stage-The horizontal surface upon which the slide is placed is called the stage. The slide is held in place by spring loaded clips and moved around the stage by turning the geared knobs on the stage.

Detailed explanation-2: -Stage: The flat platform where you place your slides. Stage clips hold the slides in place. Revolving Nosepiece or Turret: This is the part that holds two or more objective lenses and can be rotated to easily change power.

Detailed explanation-3: -The slide should be grasped by the stage clips, not secured under them. The microscope should be stored with the stage at the lowest position, not the highest position.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
