Stage Microscopy

Stage microscopy is a technique used in laboratories to view small samples under a microscope. The stage is the flat platform where you place a slide containing the specimen. It allows for precise positioning of the slide, enabling the observer to focus on different areas of the sample. The microscope uses different magnifications to enlarge the image, making it easier to see fine details. This method is essential in biology, medicine, and materials science for studying tiny structures and understanding their functions, such as cells, tissues, and microorganisms.
