Izilayidi ze-microscope zihlala zisetyenziswa ngokudibeneyo nee-microscope zezilayidi, ezinamaglasi yeglasi ekufuneka ibambe isilayidi seglasi ye-microscope. Kwinqanaba le-microscope lokufezekiswa kwezilayidi ze-microscope, ukuze ichaneke, umz. Ukunyusa inqaku kwi-slides lemicroscope kuhlala kuyinto ephambili ekuboneni ngempumelelo. Le ngxaki ifumene ingqalelo eninzi kwiinkulungwane ezimbini ezidlulileyo kwaye yintsimi ephuhliswe kakuhle eneendlela ezininzi ezikhethekileyo kwaye ngamanye amaxesha zenziwe kakhulu kakhulu. Iisampulu zihlala zibanjwa ngokusebenzisa i-microscope ye-slip encinci. Umsebenzi ophambili we-coveslip kukuthoba iisampulu eziqinileyo kunye neesampulu zesampulu ye-flat kwiflethi yobungqingqwa bokufakelwa. Oku kuyimfuneko kuba indawo ekugxilwe kuyo ye-microscope ephezulu kakhulu inqabile. Izilayidi ze-microscope zihlala zineminye imisebenzi emininzi. Iphethe isampulu endaweni (ngobunzima be-coveslip, okanye kwimeko yentaba emanzi, ngokuxinana komhlaba) kwaye kukhusela isampulu yothungelwano kunye nonxibelelwano ngengozi. Ikhusela injongo ye-microscope kwisampulu kunye ne-vice verda; Kwi-oyile okanye imicroscoon yokuntywila kwamanzi, i-microscope igubungela iglasi ethintela i-submerlion ulwelo ukuba luza kudibana nesampulu. I-Coveslips inokuthi ifakwe kwisilayidi sokutywina isampulu, thintela ukupheliswa kwempahla emzimbeni kunye ne-oxidation yesampulu, kwaye ikhusele ungcoliseko. Izityholo ezininzi ziyasetyenziswa, kubandakanya izityholo zorhwebo, amalungiselelo e-lab, kwaye nkqu nePoland ecacileyo ecacileyo, kuxhomekeka kwisampulu. I-solvent-itywina elingenasiseko elinokusetyenziswa kwiisampulu zefowuni eziphilayo "valap," umxube wee-petrotim, i-lanolin neparafini. I-microorganisms kunye neenkcubeko zeseli zinokukhula ngqo kwimicroscope Slip ngaphambi kokuba ibekwe kwizilayidi, kwaye iisampulu zinokubekwa kwi-microscope yesilayidi endaweni ye-microscope.
