What do you mean here. What is wrong with the mountant, what should I get instead? And why do I not use it. Is there a different formulation that works better for what WE do? Where is the stuff they give you supposed to go. I am a little confused I guess.

So a typical slide is a glass layer, with the standard slide being just a flat sheet of glass. Then you can/should put the specimen shield, which is a piece that is a smaller square of flat glass to mount the specimen. Usually that preserves the slide better. So I guess I don't get what you mean by under the slide. I am glad you said something because I would have put it on top of the ol' slide and gone to town on it. But if you don't use it like a normal slide would be setup... then I would have messed something up super badly.

I can't wait. I am thinking about getting some of those slide kits that they have of different things from from flora to fauna. From liver to chloroplast. It has been a long ass time since I talked about gram positive versus gram negative. I guess I will have to go back and re-read everything. I remember vaguely that certain bacteria exhibit a certain shap/composure and only certain ones stain certain ways determines what king of bacteria it is. Like the strep. virus is coiled I think and is gram possitive I think? Now I have a ton of reading to do. I wish I didn't just spend all my money on this thing, now I want that book.

And actually. A while back I was really getting close to ordering a scope for more money and less features. I was like screw it I will wait till I get some more money. So I bought some slides already. They are a single sided single well slide. I think I got a small box of them. Yeah, there are 12 of them. Damnit, I wish I could pick this thing up, and that is was only like a few block away. Instead it is coming from way the hell away and there is no delivery on weekends.

I guess every aspect of mycology is all about it. PATIENCE. Wether it be waiting for you stuff to pin or waiting for your supplies to come in.

Oh and to whoever asked how much I got it for. It was 177 I think plus like 25 bucks for shipping. so like sub 200. Probably right at around there anyways.
