Cheap Way to Make a Microslide Culture

March 2012

This is a cheap way to make a microslide culture. Basically, take a piece of filter paper, put in the bottom of a sterile Petri dish, take an applicator stick, break it in 2, put the slide with the 2 plugs on top of it with a coverslip on there, put a little water in there and let it incubate. And, it works fine. You can then take off the coverslip, put it on top of the slide with the dye and be able to look at the morphology right through that slide.
