Detailed explanation-1: -A microscope slide is a thin flat piece of glass, typically 75 by 26 mm (3 by 1 inches) and about 1 mm thick, used to hold objects for examination under a microscope. Typically the object is mounted (secured) on the slide, and then both are inserted together in the microscope for viewing.
Detailed explanation-2: -The slide holder on a microscope is an important component for observing specimens by holding your slides secure and steady during observation.
Detailed explanation-3: -Use the stage clips to hold the slide in place.
Detailed explanation-4: -When viewing any slide with a microscope, a small square or circle of thin glass called a coverslip is placed over the specimen. It protects the microscope and prevents the slide from drying out when it’s being examined.
Detailed explanation-5: -This smaller sheet of glass, called a cover slip or cover glass, is usually between 18 and 25 mm on a side. The cover glass serves two purposes: (1) it protects the microscope’s objective lens from contacting the specimen, and (2) it creates an even thickness (in wet mounts) for viewing.
