Slide Cavity
A microscope slide Cavity is a thin flat piece of glass,typically 75 by 26 mm (3 by 1 inches) and about 1 mm thick,used to hold objects for examination under a microscope.Typically the object is placed or secured on the slide,and then both are inserted together in the microscope for viewing.This arrangement allows several slide-mounted objects to be quickly inserted and removed from the microscope,labeled,transported, and stored in appropriate slide cases or folders.Microscope slides Cavity are often used together with a cover slip or cover glass,a smaller and thinner sheet of glass that is placed over the specimen.Slides are held in place on the microscope’s stage by slide clips,slide clamps or a cross-table which is used to achieve precise, remote movement of the slide upon the microscope’s stage (such as in an automated / computer operated system,or where touching the slide with fingers is inappropriate either due to the risk of contamination or lack of precision)
