What are the instructions for preparing a microscope slide?
1 Make sure your slide, cover slip and medicine dropper are all clean, dry and dust-free.2 Place your flat slide on a clean, dry surface.3 Use your medicine dropper to suck up a few drops of your liquid sample.4 Squeeze one drop of your liquid sample out onto the direct center of the flat slide.5 Gently lower your cover slip onto the flat slide. Put one edge of the cover slip down first, before lowering the rest of it. Do not press down on the cover slip once it is in place.6 Pick up the slide and cover slip combination and gently place it in the viewing tray of your microscope.
What is glass slide in microscope?
A microscope slide is a thin flat piece of glass, used to hold objects for examination . Typically the object is placed or secured between the slide and a cover slip
What is a cover slip microscope?
A cover slip or cover glass is a thin flat piece of transparent material, usually square or rectangular, about 20 mm (4/5 in) wide and a fraction of a millimetre thick, that is placed over objects for viewing with a microscope. The object is usually held between the cover slip and a somewhat thicker microscope slide, which rests on the microscope's stage or slide holder and provides the physical support for the object and slip.The main function of the cover slip is to keep solid specimens pressed flat, and liquid samples shaped into a flat layer of even thickness. This is necessary because high-resolution microscopes have a very narrow region within which they focus.The cover glass often has several other functions. It holds the specimen in place (either by the weight of the cover slip or, in the case of a wet mount, by surface tension) and protects the specimen from dust and accidental contact. It protects the microscope's objective lens from contacting the specimen and vice-versa; in oil immersion microscopy or water immersion microscopy the cover slip prevents contact between the immersion liquid and the specimen. The cover slip can be glued to the slide so as to seal off the specimen, retarding dehydration and oxidation of the specimen. Microbial and cell cultures can be grown directly on the cover slip before it is placed on the slide, and specimens may be permanently mounted on the slip instead of on the slide.
What are the steps for preparing and staining a wet mount slide?
Wet Mount Slide Steps1. Place a sample on the slide.2.Using a pipette, place a drop of water on the specimen. Then place on edge of the cover slip over the sample and carefully lower the cover slip into place using a toothpick or equivalent.*This method will help prevent air bubbles from being trapped under the cover slip. Your objective is to have sufficient water to fill the space between cover slip and slide. If there is too much water, the cover slip will slide around. Take a piece of paper towel and hold it close to one edge of the cover slip. This will draw out some water. If too dry, add a drop of water beside the cover slip. Practice this until you get used to it.Staining StepsPrepare a wet mount slide.Collect a drop of stain with an eye dropper or pipette.Put a drop of stain on an outer edge of your cover slide.Place a piece of napkin or paper towel against the opposite side of your cover slip, right up against the edge. This will help draw the stain under the cover and across the specimen.You may need to add another drop to ensure complete coverage.The slide is now ready for viewing.Source: Microscope.com
