How to Organize Your Microscope Slides
- 1). Decide how you want to organize your slides. There are several ways you can use to keep your slides in order; placing them alphabetically by sample or grouping them by sample type are common.
- 2). Use a slide box or a microscope slide holder that fits in a 3-ring binder to hold your slides. Place each individual slide into its slot.
- 3). Label each slide with a sticker. Put the name of the specimen and the date it was created on the sticker.
- 4). Label the slide holder with a sticker to denote which slides it contains for easy access.
- 5). Keep slides in their holder on a shelf or in a drawer where they will not be jostled, dropped or broken.
