Inclination joint in microscope

An inclination joint of a microscope is where the arm of the microscope connects to the base of the microscope. Many microscopes have a pin to hold these to objects together. If the microscope is equipped with the pin you can place one hand on the base and with the other hand you can grab the arm and rotate it back and forth. The inclination joint allows the microscope to tilt back for more comfortable viewing. Please note, there is no way to contain liquid specimens if you tilt your microscope back the liquid will spill to the ground or all over.
