The main parts of a microscope are the eyepiece, objective lens, stage, focus knobs, and light source. The eyepiece is where you look through to see the specimen, the objective lens magnifies the specimen, the stage holds the specimen in place, the focus knobs adjust the focus of the specimen, and the light source illuminates the specimen for better visibility.
The stage of a microscope is the small flat platform upon which you mount your specimen slides. Stage clips - usually a pair, are designed to hold the specimen slide securely in place.
