Microscope Slides

Microscope slides are thin, flat glass or plastic surfaces used to hold specimens for viewing under a microscope. They typically have dimensions of 25mm by 75mm and are about 1mm thick. The specimens are placed on the slide and covered with a cover slip, a thin piece of glass or plastic that protects the specimen and prevents it from being distorted by the weight of the microscope's objective lens. The slides are often used in biology, anatomy, and other scientific fields to observe and study cells and small organisms. They may also be used for teaching purposes in schools and universities.
