Abstract:
A specimen retaining method and slide apparatus for use with microscopes to view protozoans and similar organisms in liquid cultures. The slide assembly has a rigid rectangular base made of optically clear plastic, having a shallow well for holding the liquid culture, and a thin flexible coverslip of similar shape made of optically clear plastic placeable in the slide base to cover and retain the liquid. The base has a perimeter railing that holds the coverslip in place over the well and to prevent its disturbance when handled. The well is rectangular, oriented along the length of the base. Flat ledges extend inward from these railings to support the coverslip and to define the depth of the well. The well contains narrow ridges of height corresponding to the well depth with small liquid-distribution gaps along them to support the coverslip. These ridges constrain the specimen(s) in the liquid compartments.

Claim (Index 4):
The microscope slide assembly of  claim 1 , wherein said slide base has a narrow railing around its outer perimeter said railing rising from the surface of said ledges comprising the upper surface of said slide base said railing defining an inside upper surface area of said slide base in which said coverslip is placed to cover said well said coverslip having lateral dimensions that allow it to fit close to said railings around three sides of said rectangular slide base and having a less closer fit on the fourth railing side to allow the edge of said coverslip to be accessed and lifted out of said railing boundary and off of said slide base.
