Cloth fibers, pollen, dust or salt crystals will be easy to see and make good samples for beginners
to observe.
If the sample is very thin and clear a drop of red or blue dye may make details show more clearly.
To prepare the dyes in your set add enough warm water to half fill the dye bottle. Replace the lid
tightly and shake well until the dye crystals are all dissolved. You can transfer a drop of dye from
the bottle to your slide with the pipette.
Be careful with the dyes as they can stain clothing, furniture or carpets.
A) Making a Temporary Slide
1) Wipe the slide clean.
2) Prepare a thin sample. You may have to slice it with a scalpel or a razor blade. Be
very careful. You may want to ask for adult help.
3) Pick up your sample with the tweezers and put it on the center section of the slide.
Add one drop of water. If needed you can now add a drop of dye.
4) Gently place a temporary slide cover (plastic) over the sample, being careful not to
allow any air bubbles in.
5) Remove any excess water or dye with a piece of paper towel by pressing it down
gently over the slide cover.
6) Now you can observe your slide.
B) Making a Permanent Slide
1) Start with a clean slide and slide cover.
2) Follow Steps 2 and 3 as above.
3) Before placing the slide cover over your sample add several drops of Gum Media,
Canada Balsam or transparent glue.
4) Place the slide cover gently over the sample and gently squeeze out any air
bubbles.
5) Place your new slide away in a safe place and let it dry for a day.
