Definitions

• the colony of the microorganism is taken by a handle of platinum or adhesive tape, placed onto another slide, and brought to the microscope for the
• the present industrial invention seeks to provide a slide shaped like a multiple little bowl so as to enclose the culture ground and provided with a cap so that it can be 15 allowed to rest and then placed under the eye-piece of the microscope.
• Figs. 1 and 2 show a plan and a section view of the object of the invention, respectively;
• Fig. 3 shows an axonometric view of the slide.
• the slide of the invention is formed of a little bowl, preferably a two-receptacle bowl, including a base 1 carrying the receptacles 2 and 3 provided with a knurled bottom and side walls 4 delimiting the base surface and the height of the bowl so as to form a reservoir.
• a cap 5 covering the receptacles but not the residual base portion 6 serving as handle to carry the slide can be applied to the such reservoir.
• the material of the bowls is transparent and the height of the same is designed so as to allow the bowls to be directly focused by the microscope.
• the culture ground can be in advance placed in both receptacles.
• the analyst will smear the product to be analyzed and then cover the bowl with the cap, thus allowing the microculture to grow.
• the two receptacles plus the cap have a thickness (height) which is compatible with the focusing of the microscope so that the colonies growing in the feeding ground contained in the receptacles can be observed with large magnification.
• both receptacles has a number of protuberances so that the ground cannot slip off upon smearing.
• the analyst should not uncover the slide so that there is no danger that the microorganisms can spread over the en iron en .
• the construction made of two separate receptacles allows two different culture grounds, the first selective the second elective, to be prepared.
