Why should a microscope slide be held by its edges?
 
Always hold your glass microscope slides and cover slips by their edges. Touching other parts may cause fingerprints on their surfaces which negatively affect image quality.
 
What are the two types of microscope slides?
 
There are two main types of microscope slides – Flat Slides and Concave (Well/Depression) Slides. Well (Concave) Slides have an indent to hold liquids. This means that a Cover Slip, which is a smaller section of glass normally used with Flat Slides, isn't needed when using Concave Slides.
What should you always remember when handling microscope slides?
 
Your microscope slide should be prepared with a coverslip over the sample to protect the objective lenses if they touch the slide. Do not touch the glass part of the lenses with your fingers. Use only special lens paper to clean the lenses. Always keep your microscope covered when not in use.
 
What is the difference between a permanent slide and a temporary slide?
 
In all cases the material is mounted on a glass slide prior to its examination. Temporary preparations are examined and then discarded, usually on the same day; whereas permanent preparations may remain in good condition for years.
