Microscope slides are used for viewing specimens through a compound microscope. This type of microscopy is light-illuminated and produces a high magnification, low resolution image. Specimens may be alive or dead and are mounted on glass or plastic microscope slides. These slides come in different sizes and styles depending on the purpose and the object being viewed. Standard glass slides are one millimeter (1mm) to one and two tenth millimeters (1.2mm) thick, but thinner slides are used with more high power microscopes.
