Question 2

Do the slides come in box for safe keeping? If so is the box paper or wooden?

Accepted Answer

Technically yes, it's that little white box in the picture, but that box is paper, the slides do not stay put, and while the slides are plastic and are very durable, it's still easy for them to get lost. As an added bonus - they're non-standard size, so don't expect to buy an empty wooden slide holder and have these fit - as they won't. Would work for a classroom setting - very poor for at home use. The slides are cool - just storage is a huge hassle and a general disappointment.

Question 3

Do these work with edu science m640x microscope? here's the link https://www.amazon.com/edu-science-m640x-microscope-blue/dp/b00maoajaa/ref=sr_1_11?s=

Accepted Answer

There is no reason why they wouldn't work. They are basic plastic slides - undersized from standard - and I have used them in multiple microscopes for my girls at home, and my mom has borrowed them for use in her science classroom. We haven't found a microscope they will not work in - as long as it has a slide tray, you're fine.

Question 4

My grandkids loved the slides but have a hard time getting them out of the box. Where can I find a box that fits these undersized 60x20mm slides?

Accepted Answer

Your best bet is going to be to make your own. I have yet to find one that can be purchased that will fit these guys, and I got these over six months ago. I would have spent less time making my own than I have searching for one to fit. A dremmel and a block of wood will get it done in no time.
