Which part of a microscope holds the slide?

Objective lens
Eyepiece
Stage
Arm

The correct answer is: Stage

The stage is the part of a microscope specifically designed to hold the slide in place during examination. It typically features clips that secure the slide and allows for the precise positioning of the specimen being observed. This is essential for ensuring that the area of interest is properly centered under the objective lens for clear viewing. In conjunction with the light source, the stage provides the necessary support for the slide while facilitating adjustments for optimal focus and visibility.
