Final answer:

After using a microscope, clean the lenses with lens paper, ensure the stage is clear of slides, turn it off, wrap the cord, cover it, and return it to storage with lenses facing in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Properly Putting Away a Microscope After Use":

To ensure your microscope remains in good condition and ready for the next use, follow these steps for proper storage:

  1. Clean all lenses with lens paper or Kimwipes to remove any oils, dust, or debris that may have accumulated during use. Do this before, during, and after using the microscope.
  2. Inspect the stage to ensure no slides remain clipped in.
  3. Turn the microscope OFF, then gently wrap the cord around the base.
  4. Cover the microscope with its protective cover to prevent dust accumulation and possible damage.
  5. Carefully carry the microscope, ocular lenses facing IN, and return it to the storage cabinet.

Following these steps not only maintains the microscope's condition but also upholds the laboratory's microscope maintenance best practices.
