What type of microscope slides should I use?

The type of microscope slide you should use often depends on your application. Standard flat slides are most commonly used for light microscopy. There are also specialized slides for holding liquid or larger specimens, like concave or well slides.

How should I clean my microscope slides?

You can clean your microscope slides using special lens-cleaning wipes or solutions that won't scratch or damage the glass. Be sure to handle the slides by the edges to avoid fingerprints.

How should I store my microscope slides?

Microscope slides should be stored in a slide box to protect them from dust and damage. It's important to ensure the slides are clean and dry before storing them to prevent the growth of mold or bacteria.

What's the purpose of a slide cover?

Slide covers, or coverslips, are used to flatten and protect the specimen on the slide. They also create a uniform thickness for the specimen, which helps to focus the microscope.

Can I reuse my microscope slides and covers?

While some laboratory settings may opt to clean and reuse slides and covers, it is often easier and more hygienic to use new ones each time, particularly when dealing with infectious biological specimens, to avoid cross-contamination.
