GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -A microscope stage is the part of a microscope where a specimen is mounted for viewing. Classically, the specimen is placed on the stage on a slide, which can be clipped into place with the use of stage clips.

Detailed explanation-3: -Stage is where the specimen to be viewed is placed. A mechanical stage is used when working at higher magnifications where delicate movements of the specimen slide are required.

Detailed explanation-4: -Place the slide on the stage of the microscope. (If necessary, cover the sample with a coverslip or another slide that you hold in place with the clips on the stage.)

Detailed explanation-5: -The specimen stage is designed to hold the specimen as stationary as possible, as any drift or vibration would be magnified in the final image, impairing its spatial resolution (especially if the image is recorded by a camera over a period of several seconds).
