Explanation:
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: -Stage: The flat platform where you place your slides. Stage clips hold the slides in place.
