MICROANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -If you move your slide to the right, the specimen moves to the left as you are viewing it microscopically. This occurs due to the use of the mirror in the microscope that makes it appear to move in the opposite direction.

Detailed explanation-2: -A specimen that is right-side up and facing right on the microscope slide will appear upside-down and facing left when viewed through a microscope, and vice versa. Similarly, if the slide is moved left while looking through the microscope, it will appear to move right, and if moved down, it will seem to move up.

Detailed explanation-3: -The stage clamp holds the microscope slide in place. Below the stage is a set of knobs called the STAGE ADJUSTMENT KNOBS. The top (larger) stage adjustment knob moves the stage vertically (towards you and away from you). The bottom (smaller) stage adjustment knob moves the stage horizontally (left/ right).

Detailed explanation-4: -Remember that the image is flipped upside down and horizontally when viewed through the microscope, so when moving it, it will appear to go the opposite way to what you might intend – moving the slide up makes the image move down, and moving the slide to the right makes the image move left, etc.
