How to Hold a Microscope

A microscope is a magnification device that allows you to see items too small to be viewed with the naked eye. Microscopes are extremely sensitive devices that are expensive, and should always be handled with extreme care. Knowing how to properly handle a microscope can help keep you from breaking one, and will keep it lasting for years to come.

Instructions

• 1

  Grab the microscope with your dominant hand by placing it on the handle located at the rear of the device.

• 2

  Place your free arm around the microscope and allow it to sit gently on your arm. When done properly, it will look like you are giving your microscope a hug.

• 3

  Proceed to move your microscope to the location where you want to place it, and gently sit the device down, removing your hands slowly.
