What is the function of microscope slide?
A microscope slide is the commonest instrument in any Biology laboratory. It is a transparent rectangular glass apparatus and it fits underneath the lens piece of the microscope. It is used for mounting smears of body secretions, microscopic specimen of bacteria, viruses, fungi or parasites. One can stain the specimen they want to observe and focus the microscope on it. A cover slip is placed on top of the slide in order to keep the specimen in place. One can use a microscope slide in order to draw blood films as well.
