Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Store microscopes with the 10X (low power) objective in position. Bring the stage all the way up so that there is as little distance as possible between the stage and the objective lens. DO NOT wrap the cord around the microscope. Instead, fold the cord and place it between the arm and the stage.

Detailed explanation-2: -Do not store a microscope without any eyepieces, even if it is covered. This can allow dust to collect within the eye tubes, which can be difficult to clean. If the microscope eyepieces must be removed, simply cover the tubes with caps or a plastic bag with a rubber band around the eye tube.

Detailed explanation-3: -Unplug the cord, wrap it up, and secure it with a tie. Wrap up your cord and secure it with a tie to prevents accidents. A loose cord can get caught on other items and cause you to drop the microscope in transport.
