Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Collect a thin slice of your sample and place it on a clean, dry slide. Place one drop of water over your sample. Place the coverslip at a 45-degree angle with one edge touching the water and let go. Your slide is ready to be viewed.
Detailed explanation-2: -Why is it important to apply a cover slip at a 45 degree angle when making a wet mount? Applying the cover slip at an angle (instead of dropping it down flat on the specimen) pushes the air to the side and therefore minimizes the risk of air bubbles.
