What type of slide is made by placing the specimen in a drop of water on the slide and covering it with a glass slip?

so that when viewing the specimen the cover slip won't move.
Will slip-n-slide slide ruin grass?
Excessive use of a slip-n-slide can lead to the grass underneath becoming compacted or damaged, especially if the slide is left in one spot for an extended period. It's a good idea to periodically move the slide to allow the grass underneath to recover. Additionally, setting up the slide on a softer surface like sand or a tarp can help protect the grass from damage.
What is a thin glass or plastic square placed over a microscope slide?
