It is used to keep the glass slide "safe" from getting scratched and getting the specimens ruined.
You can add small amounts of water without removing the coverslip. To do this, place a single drop of water on one end of the coverslip and draw the water under the coverslip by placing a piece of paper towel on the opposite end of the coverslip. :D
To lower a coverslip onto a mounted slide, hold the coverslip at a slight angle above the specimen then gently lower it to let the mounting medium spread evenly and minimize air bubbles. Avoid pressing down too hard to prevent squashing the specimen or damaging the slide.
A coverslip is used in a science laboratory to protect the specimen on a microscope slide from damage, contamination, and drying out. It also helps to flatten the specimen and keep it in place for observation under a microscope.
Coverslip is not placed on a microscope but on the stained specimen on slide . This protects objective lens of microscope from getting stain from a wet mount . It also protects permanent slide .
Typically, a coverslip is placed on top of the specimen on a wet mount slide before viewing with a light microscope. The coverslip helps to flatten the specimen and prevent it from drying out during observation.
A coverslip is used for expirements so you dony have to make a mess on the tables
coverslip use to see the tiny objects.
I would prefer a glass coverslip for this specimen, please.
A coverslip goes on top of a slide to trap the matter being viewed.
Coverslip keeps the sample uniform and does not let it spill and have many irregularities.

Coverslip
A coverslip in Biology is a small rectangle of glass that is mounted on a slide to be viewed under a microscope. The coverslip protects the specimen, keep it in place and/or make it flat.
To prevent air bubbles from forming under a coverslip when mounting a slide, make sure to apply the mounting medium evenly and carefully lower the coverslip onto the specimen at a slight angle to allow air to escape. Additionally, you can gently press down on the coverslip to help any remaining air bubbles escape before sealing the edges.
