That's a pretty unavoidable conclusion given our universe. It came from something much bigger that you can call God or Infinity. It's just that people resist agreeing on the specifics. Ernst Nagel calls this the Cosmic Authority Problem. We don't like the idea of being watched. So it's more comfortable to call it Multiverse and pretend it can't see us anymore.

Ive got a concave slide that’s meant to be used with a cover slip. The dip is tiny and you can barely feel there’s a dip at all but it does the job. Not too much movement up and down, but it doesn’t crush larger specimens.
@evilsharkey8954 4 жыл бұрын
0612rex, the clay method is for people using cheap, flat slides. Concave slides don’t need it because the bigger critters can hang out in the middle. I didn’t know there were shallow ones, though. Most of the ones I’ve seen have a pretty deep well.
@0612rex 4 жыл бұрын
Evil Sharkey they’re so shallow it’s difficult to tell what side is concaved just by looking. I’ve seen the deep ones made with plastic but the ones I’ve got are high quality glass. I think I got them for £10 for 10 slides.

Boy, do feel that sense of responsibility with micro animalia in lab. Last week, i caught a brine shrimp dancing around the lab supply of daphnia, and caught him on an uncovered depression slide, first under a dissection scope, then a compound. I figured the heat from the lamps would make the shrimp uncomfortable, so I kept replacing small amounts of water on the slide while I observed him. And then, with a small pang of sadness, I decided to sterilize the slide (bleach-water) instead of returning the shrimp to the daphnia samples. I felt a bit guilty, but I also can't return brine shrimp to my daphnia colony.
