May we have your attention please!

Glass microscope slides are very fragile, so handle them carefully!

• They WILL break if dropped.
• Make a habit of returning each slide back to its correct place in the slide box after you have finished examining it.
• This will save you the tedious task of sorting a box of loose mixed slides and can save you many dollars in the long run.

Seriously, the slides are expensive and time consuming to make, and it will cost you if you break any.

Speaking of the glass slides, have you ever wonder where the tissues come from and how the slides are made?
