Verified step by step guidance

Understand the purpose of using a microscope: Microscopes are used to magnify small specimens so that they can be observed in detail.

Identify the typical setup for microscopic examination: Specimens are usually placed on a flat, transparent surface that allows light to pass through for better visibility.

Recognize the role of a glass slide: A glass slide is a thin, flat piece of glass used to hold specimens for examination under a microscope. It provides a stable and clear platform for viewing.

Consider the alternatives: A Petri dish, weighing scale, and test tube are not suitable for direct microscopic examination as they do not provide the necessary flat, transparent surface.

Conclude that the correct placement for a specimen under a microscope is on a glass slide, as it allows for optimal viewing and manipulation of the specimen.
