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 5):
The microscope slide assembly of  claim 1 , wherein the outside rectangular dimensions of said slide base are 3 inches long by 1.75 inches wide and the thickness dimension of said slide base from its bottom surface to the flat surface of said ledges is 0.04 inch and said shallow well in said slide base is rectangular in shape and has outside dimensions of 2 inches long by 0.75 inch wide and is centered within the outside dimensions of said slide base said well having a depth of 0.010 inch from the flat surfaces of said ledges to the bottom surface of said well and said ridges within said well having a height dimension equal to said well depth of 0.010 inch and a width dimension of 0.04 inch with each said liquid compartment between said ridges having at least one said liquid communication gap through its surrounding ridge boundaries with adjoining said compartments said gaps being 0.04 inch wide and said railings forming the upper perimeter of said slide base having a height dimension of 0.05 inch above said flat surfaces of said ledges and a width dimension of 0.04 inch.
