Yet without a high quality microscope slide, the characteristics of the specimen being viewed can often be confused with the characteristics of the surface on which it is placed. A colored background will appear, under magnification, to be part of the specimen, and may even cause light refection which creates a haze around the specimen and makes it harder to analyze
Microscope slides, if they are to provide the clearest possible images, are required be made according to specific standards. Those which do not meet those standards will not be acceptable in any lab which performs microscopic research.
