Make sure your slide, cover slip and medicine dropper are all clean, dry and dust-free.
Place your flat slide on a clean, dry surface.
Use your medicine dropper to suck up a few drops of your liquid sample.
Squeeze one drop of your liquid sample out onto the direct center of the flat slide.
Gently lower your cover slip onto the flat slide. Put one edge of the cover slip down first, before lowering the rest of it. Do not press down on the cover slip once it is in place.
Pick up the slide and cover slip combination and gently place it in the viewing tray of your microscope.
The microscope stage is the platform on which a slide is placed for viewing.
Yes, a glass microscope slide is an electrical insulator. Glass is generally considered an electrical insulator.
A microscope slide is a thin flat piece of glass, used to hold objects for examination . Typically the object is placed or secured between the slide and a cover slip

The objective lens
A coverslip is a thin glass placed on the microscope slide.
The slide in a microscope is placed on the stage, which is the flat platform where you position the specimen for viewing. The slide is usually held in place by stage clips or a mechanical stage, allowing you to easily move the slide around for observation.
You clip your slide onto the stage of a microscope.
Microscopes are very valuable pieces of equipment. This set distance is a simple safety precaution. Also, if you have spent a long time preparing the sample on the slide, the very last thing you want to do is knock over the microscope and contaminate the slide!
The microscope slide with a depression in it is called a concavity slide. It is specially designed to hold liquid samples or specimens that require a lower profile for observation under a microscope.
A drop of water is used to create a thin film of liquid on the slide, which helps to spread and suspend the specimen evenly for viewing under the microscope. It also prevents the specimen from drying out during observation.
The standard width of a microscope slide is approximately 25-26 millimeters.
The microscope stage is the platform on which a slide is placed for viewing.
The stage is the part of the microscope where you place the slide for viewing. You can adjust the position of the slide on the stage to examine different areas under the microscope.
The part that holds the slide in place on a microscope is called the stage. The stage is where you place your sample slide for viewing under the lens of the microscope.
The part of the microscope that you put under the slide is called the objective lens. This lens is responsible for magnifying the specimen on the slide for viewing.
The part of the microscope where the slide is placed is called the stage. It is a platform that supports the slide while it is being viewed under the microscope. The slide is typically held in place on the stage with clips or a mechanical stage control.
