How to use the LiveSlide® and umask the unseen
Using the LiveSlide® is easy. Simply follow these directions:
  1. A LiveSlide® set contains 3 pieces, the base slide and a set of coverslips, all of which are reusable.
  2. The 2 coverslips are different thicknesses. One is very thin, perfect for high magnification. The second is a bit thicker for all applications.
  3. The coverslips have a thin plastic film on both sides for protection - clear and green. Remove the films by peeling the films off or use a small piece of tape on the corner. Discard films.
  4. Gather your collected specimens.
  5. Place the desired number of specimen droplets in the wells on the base slide.
  6. Gently place the coverslip over the culture well.
  7. Placethe Liveslide® on a microscope stage or under a digital microscope and enjoy exploring the magnified world.
Alex Diaz  Former Director of Production, Swift Optical / National Optical:
“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.”

LiveSlide

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!

I love these slides!

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.
