a SLIDE is a piece of glass that you put a section of tissue on and the coverslip is a protector that goes over tissues with mounting media. This keeps the tissue on the slide from degrading.

How should you place a cover slip onto a slide of a microscope?

To place a cover slip onto a microscope slide, hold the cover slip at a 45-degree angle above the specimen to avoid trapping air bubbles. Gently lower one edge of the cover slip onto the slide, allowing it to touch the slide first, and then carefully lower the other edge down. This technique ensures an even distribution of the specimen beneath the cover slip and minimizes the risk of air bubbles. Finally, make any necessary adjustments to center the specimen under the microscope.
