Abstract
"It is important that the glass slides and coverslips used in microscopy experiments be extremely clean. Although commercially available coverslips and slides look clean, especially when out of a new box, they may have a thin film of grease and other contaminations on them. Therefore, coverslips and glass slides should be routinely treated with acid or base solutions to get rid of these contaminants. This protocol describes an easy approach for cleaning glass slides and coverslips and sterilizing them for various microscopy applications."--Introduction
