Plain slides are the base of almost every microscopy practical: onion-peel and cheek-cell mounts, leaf peels for stomata, pond-water drops, stained bacterial smears and hand-cut plant sections. Clear glass lets light from the microscope’s condenser pass through evenly, and the ground edges are smoother to hold than raw-cut glass and less prone to chipping when slides are handled in large classes.
Hold slides by the edges, wipe each one with a lint-free cloth before use, and place the specimen in the centre so it lines up with the objective. For wet mounts, lower a cover glass at an angle to avoid trapping air bubbles. Slides used for temporary mounts can be washed, rinsed and dried for reuse if they are undamaged; put chipped or broken glass straight into a dedicated glass-waste container. A pack of 72 covers a full class for several practical sessions.

What size are the Microscope Slides Glass?

Why do the slides have ground edges?
The Microscope Slides Glass have ground edges, which are smoother to hold than raw-cut glass and less likely to chip. This makes them more comfortable and safer for students handling many slides during a practical.
