Real People. Real Service. Since 1954.
Designed by a science teacher for educators and made in America. The LiveSlide® is proving to have additional applications in the world of science and microscopy including biological labs, research labs, medical labs and environmental testing. Never before has it been so easy to view microorganisms, including bacteria, fungi and protists.

“Having worked with all types of live specimen slides over the past 20 years, I’ve seen the development of some pretty impressive innovations. The LiveSlide® is one of the best I’ve used. Unlike dimple slides and other conventional well slides, the LiveSlide® offers exceptional clarity. Because of the shallow 0.23mm depth and the 0.005″ (0.013mm) and 0.010 (0.025mm) thick cover slips, observations at 400X are extremely detailed.
The Makrolon® slide and coverslips remain scratch free even after repeated use and cleaning. The partitioned well plate of the LiveSlide® makes both positioning and specimen tracking effortless. I can truly say that by using the LiveSlide®, I have seen and made observations with zooplankton that I have never seen before.” Alex DiazFormer Director of Production, Swift Optical / National Optical |
I am reliving my youth with a new microscope. Viewing pond water is much easier using this slide. Microorganisms are easier to find because they stay in the tiny wells of the slide.
We're so happy you're enjoying the LiveSlide! Developed by a science teacher in Texas, it's a must-have item for viewing water organisms. We will have replacement cover slips very soon, too. Thanks for the tip!
The optical quality of these slides is great. I've used them at up to 1200X in bright field with no noticeable optical aberrations due to the slide or slide cover material. I have also been surprised at the resolution and detail of living bacteria cells I have been able to see without using a phase contrast microscope with these slides. The flat depth and extra large area of the specimen well is great for doing surveys and counting.
