What holds the specimen in place?

Stage and Stage Clips The stage is a platform for the slides, which hold the specimen. The stage typically has a stage clip on either side to hold the slide firmly in place. Some microscopes have a mechanical stage, with adjustment knobs that allow for more precise positioning of slides.

What part of the microscope allows you to specimen?

Where the slide specimen is placed?

Stage
Stage: The flat platform where the slide is placed. Stage clips: Metal clips that hold the slide in place. Stage height adjustment (Stage Control): These knobs move the stage left and right or up and down.

What supports the microscope slide and viewing object?

Mirror or light source: is used to send light up through the hole in the stage, object, and lenses. Nosepiece: holds the objective lenses and rotates to change the magnification. Stage: supports the object (microscope slide) being viewed. Stage clips: hold the microscope slide in place.

What supports the specimen so it can be viewed?

ARM This part on the side of the microscope is used to support it when it is carried. COARSE ADJUSTMENT KNOB This part moves the stage up and down to help you get the specimen into view.

What is the purpose of mounting in slide preparation?

The main purpose of mounting media is to physically protect the specimen; the mounting medium bonds specimen, slide and coverslip together with a clear durable film. The medium is important for the image formation as it affects the specimen’s rendition.

What do you use to secure the slide on the stage?

If your microscope has stage clips, secure the slide under the stage clips. If your microscope has a mechanical stage, turn the control knobs (below one side of the stage) to position the specimen directly over the opening in the stage.

What are mounting techniques?

There are two different types of techniques in mounting art work, museum mounting and dry mounting. Museum mounting is archival and reversible and dry mounting is archival (in most cases) and non-reversible. All works of art on paper have to be mounted with one of these two approaches.

Where is the slide located on a microscope?

These are found on the nosepiece and range from low to high power. These are used to hold a slide in place on the stage. Projects light upwards through the diaphragm to allow you to see the specimen. This part on the side of the microscope is used to support it when it is carried.

Which is part of the microscope allows you to see the specimen?

Projects light upwards through the diaphragm to allow you to see the specimen. This part on the side of the microscope is used to support it when it is carried. This part moves the stage up and down to help you get the specimen into view.

What are the components of a compound microscope?

The three basic, structural components of a compound microscope are the head, base and arm. Arm connects to the base and supports the microscope head. It is also used to carry the microscope. Also, how are slides held in place?

What does the stage on the side of a microscope do?

This part on the side of the microscope is used to support it when it is carried. This part moves the stage up and down to help you get the specimen into view. This part moves the stage slightly to help you sharpen or “fine” tune your view of the specimen. This part of the microscope helps you adjust the amount of light that reaches the specimen.
