On top of the Microscope slide, the specimen you wish to examine is place and then water and a coverslip is placed on top of that. Other things may be added depending on the speciment you wish to examine such as stainers like Iodine.
On the specimen stage.
Microscope slides are used to hold and protect specimens for viewing under a microscope. They provide a flat and stable surface for the specimen to be placed on and allow for easy handling and movement under the microscope. The clear glass also allows for light to pass through the specimen, making it easier to observe and analyze.
There are several types of microscope slides, including plain glass slides, frosted glass slides for labeling, concavity slides for holding liquids, cavity slides for more complex samples, and special slides like grid slides for counting cells or chamber slides for cell culture studies. Each type of slide is designed for specific research or educational purposes.
Microscopes don't normally come with the slides. Microscopes have a place to insert slides that you have prepared separately. See the instructions for your microscope to locate the place where you would place the slides. You put the slide in to view its called a specimen what you put in it.
The stage on a microscope is the flat platform where the slide with the specimen is placed for viewing. It usually has clips or springs to hold the slide in place. The stage can be moved up and down to focus the specimen under the objective lens.

The platform that slides sit on in a microscope is called a stage. The stage is where the slide is placed and moved so that different parts of the specimen can be viewed under the microscope lens.
The magnification power refers to the enlarging power of a microscope. A microscope basically magnifies objects that are placed under the slides.
The mechanical stage holds and allows for the movement of slides on a microscope. It typically consists of a platform where the slide is placed and knobs that control the slide's position on the stage.
A microscope is a science instrument that uses slides. Slides are small rectangular pieces of glass on which specimens are placed for viewing under the microscope. The slide holds the specimen in place and allows light to pass through for magnification and observation.

It should be placed under the clips.
A prepared slide for a compound light microscope is composed of a viewing sample suspended in a drop of distilled water, which has been placed on one glass slide. A second glass slide will be placed on the first slide and any residual water will be gently soaked up by a paper towel.
The stage is the flat piece that the slides are placed on. The two stage clips hold the slide down.
Microscope slides are held in place on the microscope's stage by slide clips or slide clamps.
