Answer #1

Since the negatively charged rod does not touches the microscope , the net charge on the microscope is zero.

Explanation:

as the negatively charged rob brought very close to the microscope then the free electron in the microscope knob repelled by the rod enter through into the leaves through stem.

as the two leaves have the same excess of negative charge so that they repell each other.

the know becomes postive charge

the net charge on the microscope = the excees charge on the knob + the excess chargeon the leaves = 0
