Popular Microscope Slide Sets by Course

With so many options available, choosing the right microscope slides for your lab can be overwhelming. To make the process easier, we’ve compiled our most popular microscope slide sets by course (see the table below). Because biology covers so many areas that are conducive to microscopy work, we’ve further divided it into topics.

In any course, it’s important that your students understand the microscope and basic techniques.

• Use the Beginner’s Microscope Slide Set to introduce your students to microscopy. It includes 12 basic slides and a study guide that help students learn to position objects for viewing, adjust focus, and care for a microscope.
• The Carolina® Introduction to Microscopy Mat is also a helpful, reusable resource that guides students through basic microscope information and simple slide-making techniques.
