so the slide can slide on and off smooth.
Touching the edge of the drop of water with the cover slip helps prevent air bubbles from forming between the water and the cover slip. This technique ensures a smooth and even spread of the water, reducing distortion and allowing for better visualization under the microscope.
Microscopic organisms found in a drop of stale water can include bacteria, algae, protozoa, and other microorganisms. These organisms can vary depending on the source of the water, its environment, and levels of contamination.
A wet mount slide is made by placing the specimen in a drop of water on the slide and covering it with a glass slip. This technique is commonly used in microscopy to observe living organisms or specimens in their natural hydrated state.
A drop of water can contain various microscopic organisms such as bacteria, algae, protozoa, and even tiny invertebrates like water fleas or rotifers. These organisms play important roles in the ecosystem of bodies of water.
so that when viewing the specimen the cover slip won't move.

To prepare an onion cell slide for microscopic examination, first peel off a thin layer of the onion skin. Place the thin layer on a microscope slide and add a drop of water to the onion skin. Gently place a coverslip over the onion skin to create a flat surface for viewing under the microscope. Finally, carefully place the slide on the microscope stage and adjust the focus to observe the onion cells.
If you prepare a smear from an agar plate or slant without first placing water on the slide, the cells may not adhere well to the slide, leading to uneven distribution and difficulty in visualization. Adding a drop of water before preparing the smear helps the cells adhere to the slide and spread evenly for better microscopic examination.

There are many microscopic animals. You will need a microscope and a slide mounting kit to see them. You might have a still or slow moving natural body of water near you. If so get a jar of water from it. Put a drop between two slides and look at it under your microscope. You may see some type of animal life.
