The key requirements for making your own microscopy slides are various chemicals, depending on the method, and also stains. Sliced at 10 microns virtually nothing retains its original colour which then has to be reintroduced with stains that have largely been developed through the clothes industry. We stock most of what you will need. Click on the listed ‘Chemicals’ or ‘Stains’ from the link below to make your selection.
