Good morning!
I need an answer to one question.
In the Anatomy and Physiology Lab of the college where I teach the
subject we use SWIFT light microscopes (the newer model).
At the moment there is a hot discussion taking place between faculty
members regarding the way of proper overnight storage of the
microscopes between lab sessions.
The discussion is regarding the controversial dilemma: DO STUDENTS
HAVE TO BRING THE STAGE UP OR DOWN WHEN THEY ARE FINISHED USING THE
MICROSCOPE?
I realize that the subject sounds silly, but it seems like at this
moment it has become a matter of principle. Different laboratory
manuals provide different information: some say "stage up", some say
"stage down".
Please help.
Thanks in advance!
"Student Microscope Checklist
When finished using the microscope, complete the following.
Check off each step when completed.
Bring the stage to its lowest level.
Click the 4X objective into place.
Remove the slide and dispose of appropriately. Wipe prepared slides until
ALL oil/dirt is removed (top and bottom).
Clean objective lenses with swabs, and, if using oil, liquid lens cleaner.
Clean eyepieces with dry swabs.
Clean condenser lens with dry swabs.
If necessary, clean the stage with a damp Kimwipe.
Turn the light switch OFF. Do not move the microscope for a few minutes
before putting it away.
Do NOT wrap the cord around the base. Fold the cord and secure with velcro.
In order to fit back in the microscope cabinet cubicle, the head must be
rotated so that the eyepieces are facing away from the stage.
Replace the dust cover.
Return the microscope to the appropriate location in the cabinet."

Thanks Heliogabalus! Although... is there an info. on Anatomy
(Histology) microscope stages? I am asking you because they claim that
Anatomy is different from Micro, and therefore the rules are
different.
Also, if anybody knows a website or an Anatomy Lab guide where it says
that the stages are supposed to go DOWN and then stored, I would
appreciate the input. Again, it does sound dumb. Sorry.
Thanks again!
aleco.
