Question

You are viewing a specimen for biology lab. You place the slide on the microscope and turn away from it to make sure your data table is set up for your observations. When you turn back to the specimen and look at it through the eyepiece, you notice that the slide has moved down the stage so that only the top quarter of the slide is showing. Which part of the microscope should you adjust so you can better see the specimen?

[AI-generated answer — Explain Bot]

Yes, you are correct! To better see the specimen, you should adjust the stage clip of the microscope. The stage clip is responsible for holding the slide in place on the stage. In this case, the slide has moved down the stage, so you would need to adjust the stage clip to secure the slide in the proper position. This will ensure that the entire specimen is visible through the eyepiece, allowing for better observation.
