Handling and caring for a microscope properly will help prevent safety hazards and keep the machine in good working condition. 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.
The part of the microscope that you hold when you carry it is called the arm. It is located on top of the microscope and is used to support and carry the microscope while keeping it balanced.
When handling a microscope, always carry it with two hands using the base and arm to prevent dropping it. Use lens paper to clean the lenses and never touch them with your fingers. Make sure to store the microscope properly in a clean and dry space.
The arm supports the body tube and is used to carry the microscope.
To carry a microscope, use both hands to securely grip the base and the arm of the microscope. Make sure the microscope is switched off, all components are secured, and carry it in an upright position to prevent damage to the lenses or internal components. It's also a good idea to place it in a padded carrying case for added protection during transportation.

Always carry the microscope with two hands, one on the base and one on the arm, to prevent dropping or damage. When focusing, use the coarse adjustment knob first for large adjustments, and then the fine adjustment knob for more precise focusing.
