3 Preparing Slides

You can use all slides and cover slips that meet the following specifications:
Length
Width
Thickness
Corners
Edges
Do not use a slide when it is broken or its edges are not properly cut or
grounded. Using such slides can lead to injury.
Ensure that no part of the mounted coverslip protrudes from the edges
of the slide.
Use slides with completely dried embedding medium only. Otherwise,
the coverslip can be shifted that makes slide insertion less reliable. Not
completely dried embedding might also influence the operation of
objectives and other device parts.
Do NOT scratch any circular marker onto the glass surface of a slide,
use a soft tip pen instead for marking area of interest.
