Keep your slides organized and protected from dust and damage .

The cabinet will accommodate twelve 20-slide trays and includes a clear slide-out 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 side-by-side 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 four-part 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 .
