Introduction to Clinical Mycology

Removal and Placement of Coverslip Onto Slide

March 2012

And then, when it is time, you remove 1 of the coverslips from 1 end of the slide, put it on top of a drop of lactophenol aniline blue and look at it underneath the microscope. What you do not want to do, is to take the slide out of the incubation chamber, that water agar plate, and take that out and look at it underneath a microscope. Because, if you happen to have a pathogen growing there and you take that open system out and look at it like that, you are apt to get yourself infected and the laboratory infected and it has happened.
