GX Optical ADVICE - Different Types of Slides
You can use any upright or inverted biological microscope to look at slides. Stereo (also known as dissecting) microscopes are not usually used for looking at slides.
There are essentially 3 main types of slides:
Plain - simple glass slides for placing transparent objects onto, often covered by a coverslip (sometimes known as coverglass)
Frosted End - same as Plain slides but they have a frosted area on which you can write
Well - slides with a recessed well (or 2) used for holding liquids such as pond water

Prepared slides have specimens mounted on them.  We normally stock Series 1 of Histology, Zoology and Botany for immediate delivery.

Stage graticules are required for calibrating image analysis software
