How to hold the slide

1. Hold the thicker part of the slide on both sides, making sure that your fingers can completely cover both sides of the slide.

2. Gently place the tips of your fingers on the edge of the slide and touch the slide lightly.

3. Using steady pressure, pick up the slide from the box or storage location, making sure that your fingers hold the slide securely.

4. Take care to keep the slide in a horizontal position to avoid any liquids or objects slipping off the slide.

5. Use a light holding motion to move the slide to the location where you need to perform the operation, such as on the microscope's slide holder or in a test tube.
