Abstract

A slide (1) or observing material (4) under a microscope comprising a mounting surface (15) to receive material (4) for observation and a removable layer (2) on the mounting surface (4) formed with at least one opening (3) in the removable layer (5) to define at least one exposed region (6) on the mounting surface (15) for retaining material to be observed when the removable layer (12) is detached. The exposed region has definite boundaries and any material to be examined remaining on the slide is confined to be exposed region to facilitate examination of the slide by human visual identification or machine vision by making material easier to locate, by limiting material to regions appropriate for best observation (e.g. away from edges of the slide and coverglass), and by limiting the amount of material or area covered by material to permit quick and rigorous observation and analysis. A method for using slides according to the present invention is also disclosed.
