Question

Often what you want to visualize is not in the middle of the field of view, and you must move the slide around to find what you want to study. To move the slide, you move the stage. As you look at the microscope, the stage knob on the top moves the stage forward and back. The stage knob on the bottom moves the stage side to side.

A. True
B. False
C. Ambiguous
D. Unrelated

Answer 1

The stage knob on the bottom of the microscope does not move the stage side to side.

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer to the question is B. False.

Although it is true that the stage knob on the top of the microscope moves the stage forward and back, and the stage knob on the bottom moves the stage side to side, the statement that the stage knob on the bottom moves the stage side to side is incorrect. The knob on the bottom actually moves the stage up and down, allowing the user to focus the image.

It is important to note that the orientation of the image is inverted when viewed through a microscope, and moving the slide left or right will appear as if the slide is moving right or left.
