Question

How is a prepared slide different from a wet mount on a microscope?

Answer 1

Hint: A single page of a presentation is a slide. Collectively, as a slide deck, a set of slides can be known. The exposure of a sequence of slides or photographs to an electronic computer or a projector screen is a slide show.

Complete answer:
Prepared microscope slides refer to a series of slides that a person who is an expert in the field has previously assembled. Prepared slide sets for microscopes are commonly used as instructional materials for both children and skilled health professionals.
Wet mounting slides are used under the microscope to screen liquids. Preparation of a wet mount slide requires a depression slide, a cover slip, and an eye dropper may be helpful, but is not needed. Pond water, cheek cells, blood or sperm samples may be used in wet mount slide samples.
Dry mounting by the use of a heat-sensitive adhesive medium is a way of placing the image on a hard backing. A wet mount is freshly packed, while a pre-prepared and sealed dry mount is.

A dry mount slide, except without water, can be prepared in a somewhat similar fashion to a wet mount. Place the item in the middle of the slide and carefully set it on top by keeping the coverslip at an angle.

Note: Wet mounts have some benefits compared to permanently mounted slides: Fast preparation: sample fixation, dehydration and staining are not required (but possible, if required). For this reason, the first type of mounts that learners learn to build are wet mounts.
