TO MAKE YOUR OWN MICROSCOPIC SLIDES

You may easily preserve choice specimens for many years by making your own microscope slides. The only materials required are blank microscope slides, cover glasses, unflavored gelatin from any grocery store, and clear cement.

1.In preparing an ordinary specimen first thoroughly clean the slide a cover glass to be used.

2.Prepare a small quantity of gelatin according to the directions. Use as little gelatin on the slide as possible, just enough to cover the speciment without leaving an air bubble when the cover glass is laid on top.

3.Set the slide aside so that it may “gel” undistrubed.

4.When the gelatin has solidified carefully trim the edges of the cover glass, removing any gelatin that may have escaped from beneath the cover glass.

5.Finally, run a thin coat of clear cement around the edges of the cover glass, which insures an air tight seal.

Care should be taken to make the slide as thin as possible without crushing the specimen. Sometimes, however, you may wish to mount a specimen which is rather thick. In this case you should place pillars under the edges of the cover glass which raises it to the desired thick- ness. Many times you will find that tiny pieces of a broken cover glass provide adequate thickness.
