As part of the educational area of the fish room I am setting up a science
section. I would like to have some microscope slides prepared of eggs in
various stages of development and live foods. I have the slides with the
little well and was wondering if it were possible to make permanent slides
that will not degrade. I was wondering if you could put epoxy on the slide
to cover the egg, live food, would this keep the item without degredation
(don't laugh I am a DIY'er).

If not what would?


I have another DIY solution, you have a camera, take pictures of the various stages etc.......... then you can make prints for display laminated, or project them from a laptop, Attachments for microscopes are not expensive, and some people even use some of the digital scopes sold in toy stores, I think "digital Blue" is one there are others.

Attached is a very low resolution small image taken through a microscope .. it does work and people can hold the image instead of trying to focus a microscope....... Just a thought
