Stage clips are small clips or attachments on the stage of a microscope, which is a flat surface just below the objective lenses. The function of stage clips is to keep the slide in place and prevent it from moving when the microscope is moved or adjusted. They are adjustable and movable to ensure proper grip on the slide. Stage clips are critical to providing a clear image of the specimen and are made of stainless steel and screwed onto both sides of the stage to fix the slide properly from both sides.
