Dust.
Keeping a microscope covered when not in use is important to protect it from dust, debris, and accidental damage, which can impair its optical components and affect performance. A cover also helps prevent contamination of slides and lenses, ensuring that the microscope remains clean and ready for use. Additionally, covering it can deter curious hands or pets from tampering with the equipment, prolonging its lifespan and maintaining its accuracy.
The important thing when using space heaters is to keep them isolated from flammable objects. Try to keep plant debris and furniture a safe distance away from them.
While moving the microscope from one place to another, always keep it in an upright position.
At least 10 centimeters. Preferrably keep it near the center, so its very hard to fall.
put the slide on the platform, start with lowest magnification, gradually adjust the fine adjust knob until image appears clearly. then, keep switching to higher magnification powers.

No, the microscope cannot be tilted during imaging as it may affect the quality of the images. It is important to keep the microscope stable and level to ensure accurate and clear observations.
Yes, for warmth and privacy, it's important to keep the patient as covered as possible during a bed bath.
Store the microscope in a clean and dry environment, covered with a dust cover to prevent accumulation of dust. Keep the microscope in a secure location to prevent any damage from accidental knocks or falls. Store it at room temperature away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
Yes you can. Keep them well covered otherwise they'll dry out and keep them refrigerated.

to keep the object on it
Tilting the microscope with the onion cell slide on it can cause the slide to move out of focus or fall off, potentially damaging the sample. It's important to keep the microscope level to maintain the proper focus and alignment of the sample for observation.
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.
