have any and did not purchase a package that lists those items as included, please visit www.amscope.com to

1. Gather a thin slice or piece of your specimen. If your specimen is too thick, the cover slip will not be level,
and will wobble on top of the sample. If a thin sample is not available, you may use a microtome (sold sepa-
rately) to create a thin layer of the sample.
2. Place one drop of water directly over the specimen. Too much water can cause the cover slip to oat, which
will make focusing on your sample extremely dicult, if not impossible.
