摘要：

<p>A self-staining microscopic slide designed for immediate staining and viewing of cells in biological fluid and tissue samples, preferably with an epi-fluorescence microscope. The pre-prepared microscope slide (11) preferably has a supravital fluorescent stain (13) applied thereon, which is overlaid with a transparent film (16). During use, the film (16) is peeled back to expose the stain (13) so that a sample (14) can be applied thereon for intermixture therewith. The film (16) is then replaced over the stained sample to act as a cover slip for immediate viewing. The slide can include reference standards (19, 24) to facilitate microscope focusing and to allow measurements of cells and microorganisms. An alternate embodiment provides a flexible microscope slide (11) which can be folded over such that a viewing portion (12) of the slide (11) can be placed against a specimen (21) to obtain a sample directly therefrom.</p>
