Why should you keep the stage on a microscope flat if it has liquid on?
so that the liquid doesn't slide off
What are three ways to keep the microscope from getting damaged?
Always carry a microscope with two hands. Place one hand under the base of the microscope and hold the arm with the other hand. Do not allow the microscope to drop or bump into anything while carrying it. This could damage the microscope or cause small pieces to break off that could cause a tripping hazard. Touching the microscope lens can smudge or damage it. Always use lens paper or a soft cloth with a small amount of isopropyl alcohol to clean a dirty microscope lens. Remove slides and cover slips from the stage before storing the microscope, and rotate the nose piece so that the smallest power objective is facing the stage. Place a dust cover over the microscope when storing it to prevent dust and dirt from damaging the machine. Read more about Microscope Saftey Procedures in the related link.
As you go down a SLIDE your movement is not smooth what can you infer about the force acting on you?
Gravity is the force that is pulling you down. However, friction is acting against gravity to keep you in place, since you are rubbing against the slide. So the quick answer would be friction.
What are the steps to focus a microscope?
Depending on the microscope the steps differ but assuming you are using a light microscope (the only microscope you will use before university). The microscope must be set to the lowest magnification with the stage set as far way as possible (the platform the sample is held on). Then using the coarse focus (the larger knob) bring the stage towards the lens while looking though the eye piece when the sample comes into focus use the fine focus knob (the smaller knob) to bring the image to optimum focus. When this is achieved increases the magnification (by changing to a stronger lens) and using fine focus continue to focus the image and keep repeating the steps till a max focus is achieved. If more information is need let me know as there are more complicated techniques but this should be enough for before a university level depending on what country you are in.
What is the proper way to store a microscope?
Just keep lens covers on and store it somewhere clean and safe.

What is a stage specimen on a microscope used for?
it is used to hold the object and to keep the object in place.
What is slide in microscope?
to keep the object on it
What is a function of a microscope slide?
A microscope slide is the commonest instrument in any Biology laboratory. It is a transparent rectangular glass apparatus and it fits underneath the lens piece of the microscope. It is used for mounting smears of body secretions, microscopic specimen of bacteria, viruses, fungi or parasites. One can stain the specimen they want to observe and focus the microscope on it. A cover slip is placed on top of the slide in order to keep the specimen in place. One can use a microscope slide in order to draw blood films as well.

What is the best way to store microscope slides?
The best way to store microscope slides is in a slide box. A slide box will keep slides from sticking to each other, keeping them intact.
What is the used of the coverslip?
A coverslip in Biology is a small rectangle of glass that is mounted on a slide to be viewed under a microscope. The coverslip protects the specimen, keep it in place and/or make it flat.

What are the 17 parts of a microscope?
1.Eyepiece or ocular- upper optical component that further magnifies the primary images and bring the right rays into focus.2. Draw tube- it is the cylindrical structure which is used to support the eyepiece.3. Body tube- connects the ocular to the objective lenses.4. Coarse Adjustment Knob- It moves the tube up and down to magnify thespecimen.5. Fine Adjustment Knob- It adjusts the focus slightly, to make the image clear.6. Arm- basic frame to which the base, body and stage are attached and acts as aconnector between the base and the head of the microscope.7. Stage- Table of the microscope where the glass slide is placed and helps insupporting the specimen and helps you to keep the specimen on thecorrect location.8.Stage Clip- The stage clip hold the the specimen slide firmly on the stage and isneeded if the microscope is tilted.9. Glass Slide- is the place where specimen is place to view in the microscope.10. Inclination Joint- It allows one to tilt the upper part of the microscope so thatyou can view the specimen while seated.11.Base- it helps in supporting the microscope and contains the illuminator.12.Diaphragm- it controls the amount of light that passes through the stage and,consequently, through the specimen.13.Dust Shield- It protects the objectives from dust.14.Revolving Nosepiece- This is the part that holds two or more objective lensesand can be rotated to easily change power.15.Objectives- it gathers light from the sample or object under study.16.Mirror- is used to focus light up through the hole in the microscope's stage,or slide platform. The slides will contain a thin slice of materialthrough which the light can shine, to reveal the internal structure ofthe sample.17.Mirror Rack- holds the mirror in place.
What do the clips do on a microscope?
Basically, they hold the slide down and still. You are still able to move it, but they just keep it steady.
