What are the Precautions when using microscope?

When using a microscope, ensure that the equipment is placed on a stable, flat surface to prevent tipping or damage. Always handle the lenses with care, using lens paper to clean them, and avoid touching the glass with fingers. When adjusting the focus, start with the lowest magnification to prevent damaging the slide or lens. Additionally, be cautious with any live specimens and chemicals, using appropriate protective gear such as gloves and goggles when necessary.
