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: -Mounting in microscopy means placing the samples on glass slide for microscopic observation. It holds the specimen in place (either by the weight of the cover slip or, in the case of a wet mount, by surface tension) and protects the specimen from dust and accidental contact.

Detailed explanation-3: -Stage clip is a spring piece mounted on the microscope stage for fixing the slide or the object to be observed.

Detailed explanation-4: -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).

Detailed explanation-5: -The stage serves as a space for actors or performers and a focal point (the screen in cinema theaters) for the audience. As an architectural feature, the stage may consist of a platform (often raised) or series of platforms.
