Semipermanent microscope slides of microfungi using a sticky tape technique.
A technique is described for making semipermanent microscope slides of fungi using sticky tape. After being touched to a fungal colony, a modified segment of sticky tape is touched to ethyl alcohol and then immersed in a 50% glycerine solution containing cotton blue stain. Finally, it is transferred (sticky side up) to a microscope slide, covered with a cover with a cover glass, and sealed.
