Detailed explanation-1: -Typically, the mechanical stage is equipped with two translational knobs. Whereas one is for the x-axis, the other one is for the y-axis. The user is allowed to move the slide in the x or y direction slowly and smoothly by turning the knobs.
Detailed explanation-2: -The mechanical stage in a microscope is a mechanism that’s been mounted on the stage to hold the microscope slide in order to hold it steady and to reposition it when needed.
Detailed explanation-3: -The stage (E) holds the slide or specimen on a microscope. The body tube encases the optic components of the microscope. The condenser concentrates light onto the specimen for observation. The fine and coarse adjustment knobs move the stage of the microscope up and down in order to focus the view of the speciment.
