Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The arm of the microscope provides stability and balance, while the base supports the weight of the microscope. Gripping the arm with one hand and supporting the base with the other hand is the proper way to carry a microscope to avoid damaging any delicate components. Choice B, head and stage, are incorrect because the head of the microscope should not be used for carrying since it is not as stable as the arm. Choice C, objective lenses and base, and Choice D, ocular lenses and arm, are both incorrect because the lenses are delicate and should not be touched while carrying the microscope.
