so you dont touch the lenses and get smears on them and so that the device does not fall and break on the ground
So you don't drop it :)
carry by arm and base
Grasp the arm with one hand while placing your other hand under the base (bottom of the microscope). ALWAYS use two hands.
What can you infer about these two parts of a microscope? [arm and base]
A base arm microscope is a type of optical microscope characterized by its stable base and arm structure, which supports the optical components and stage. This design allows for precise adjustments and positioning of the specimen for observation. Base arm microscopes are commonly used in laboratory settings for biological and material science applications, providing clear magnification and illumination for detailed examination. Their robust construction makes them suitable for both educational and professional use.

base and the arm
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.
The arm connects the body tube to the base so when you carry it one hand goes on the arm and the other on the bottom of the base

The arm of a microscope is the curved part that connects the head or body of the microscope to the base. It allows for easy adjustment of the angle and height of the microscope head for more comfortable viewing. The arm also provides stability and support for the various components of the microscope.
with your stronger arm ex if you are right handed use your right arm grab the arm of the microscope and use your other arm/hand at the base/under it
According to Professor Giserey Vonne P. Ocampo, The base supports and holds the whole body of the microscope The arm connects both the base and the Body Tube, supporting the capability of the microscope to stand in balance.
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 purpose of the arm is to connect the tube to the base of the microscope. When carrying a microscope you should always have one hand holding the "arm" of the microscope and one supporting the base of the microscope.
