What is stage in microscope?

How does the image of a specimen change when viewed under a compound microscope?
It is inverted .
Why is it important for a specimen viewed under the microscope to be thin?
A specimen being viewed under a microscope should be thin so that light can pass through the specimen. The thinner it is the brighter it will be. A thick specimen will block the light and all you'll get is a dark grey image. Also, more detail can be seen in a thin specimen because there will not be parts in front of each other, blocking the view.

How must samples be prepare for observation by electron microscope?
They must be preserved and dehydrated. Once this is accomplished, put the specimen onto a slide, and then the slide is ready to be viewed under the microscope.
