  • Flexible microscope slide
    Patent number: 6239906
    Abstract: A flexible plastic microscope slide which can be folded over such that a viewing portion of the slide can be placed against a specimen to obtain a sample directly therefrom without the need of transferring devices, thereby reducing biological hazards. The slide is designed for on-site collection, staining, and viewing of cells in biological fluid and tissue samples, preferably with an epi-fluorescence microscope. This novel slide permits point-of-care screening in a matter of minutes of any biological fluid or tissue sample for presence of infectious agents.
