 Cabinet, Slide Storage, Economy
Keep your slides organized and protected from dust and damage. This tough, polypropylene cabinet will hold up to 240 standard (27 x 75 mm) slides horizontally—so slides last longer and are easier to find. The cabinet will accommodate twelve 20­slide trays and includes a clear slide­out door. Cabinet dimensions are 14" L x 8" W x 8" H. Polystyrene trays are sold separately, in packages of six.
Cabinet, Microscope Slide Storage
The ideal storage unit for your collection of prepared microscope slides. Slides are held flat in removable, compartmented aluminum trays. Flat storage is essential to keeping specimens and cover slips in place—ensuring a long, useful life for expensive slides. Each of the 25 trays has 20 separate compartments—giving a nominal capac­ ity of 500 slides. Compartments are deep enough that slides (with the exception of thicker whole mounts) can be stacked two high— doubling the total capacity. Trays are also numbered so the cabinet contents can be indexed for quick, accurate retrieval of slides.
Cabinet measures 81⁄2" W x 13" D x 11" H. Designed with flat sides and a disappearing door so additional units can be placed side­by­side or stacked. Constructed of durable, seasoned hardwood with a light oak finish.
Exploring the Compound Microscope—
Student Laboratory Kit
By: The Flinn Staff
It sure is a small world! Students learn about the parts and important functionality of microscopes while exploring the microworld through slides they prepare themselves. In this four­part activity, students perform a basic focusing procedure using prepared cork slides, create a wetmount slide using newsprint, estimate and compare crystal size using ruled microscope slides, and a slightly more challenging proto­ zoa identification activity using depression slides. Your students will certainly remember the important microscope techniques after complet­ ing this exciting survey of microscope functionality. Reproducible worksheets, Instructor’s Notes, and extension activities are provided.
Complete for 30 students working in pairs.

    Store Prepared Microscope Slides
Protect slides from direct sunlight, heat and cold. Sunlight causes stains to fade and tissues to deteriorate.
Store slides horizontally with cover slips up. The mounting media in the center remains a liquid for several years. If the slides are stored on their sides, heat and gravity will cause the entire specimen to slip off.
Cold temperatures and time may cause a cover slip to pop off. If this happens, replace the cover slip and paint around the edges with clear nail polish. Use the same procedure to replace cracked cover slips.
Never immerse slides in water or solvent. Slides should be cleaned using damp lens paper. Cotton swabs dipped in rubbing alcohol or ethyl alcohol may be gently used to remove oils on the cover slip.
