Welcome

Hi there, welcome to a small tutorial that I, EdwardTeach, put together for your reference. I hope this helps you on your path to better health and wellbeing. Feel free to reach out to me on Reddit if you have any comments, questions, or suggestions.

I recommend you start at the Materials page if you are new to wet mount viewing. If you have your supplies and need a refresher on how to use a Microscope go here, or for Sample Collection techniques go here, Sample Preparation Techniques can be found here, and finally for Wet Mount Analysis go here. There are also links on the right side of the webpage under 'TABLE OF CONTENTS', you can also search the site using the search bar on the left.

I have also included a References page for additional information from trusted sources.

Good luck and I wish you the best,
EdwardTeach

UPDATE: 13 Nov 2025 I have added a new section, technique 3, to the Sample Preparation page. This shows you how to heat fix samples to the glass slide. Using this method you may be able to get achieve clearer pictures and you will no longer need to use a slide cover.

I am not a Doctor and this is not medical advice. I am only sharing this information to help those left stranded by the lack of medical care and support. Please discuss this with your health care provider before proceeding.

If you find an error or incorrect information or if something is missing that you think would be beneficial for wet mount microscopy please let me know.
