[Histonet] Large coverslips?

[yvan lindekens]

Hi all,

I’m looking for some kind of a DIY coverslip or a tape, plastic foil… anything usable to cover some large slides (+/- 4.5cm * 15cm = 1.8inch * 5.9inch) containing botanical and zoological sections mounted in Canada Balsam.

Does anyone has a (cheap…) solution for this? It doesn’t need to be pristine optical quality as the slides are primarely intended to be used on an overhead projector in the class room, but the possibility of viewing them under low power (40x - 100x) would be a real advantage. 

Thanks in advance four your wisdom and knowledge!

Yvan.
