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: -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-3: -Inversion. You should notice that the image you see is UP-SIDE-DOWN and REVERSED. This phenomenon is called INVERSION. Due to INVERSION, when you move the slide to the RIGHT, the image of the slide that is seen through the oculars (or eye-pieces) appears to move LEFT.

Detailed explanation-4: -If the slide moves to the left, the image is moved to the right. If the slide is moved to the right, the image is moved to the left.
