I was using some good quality pre-cleaned microscope slides and noticed
that they  are not clean but very "dirty".  Good cover slips ( 1.5 )
also have some dirt on them.
Does anyone have a protocol for cleaning  precleaned slides and
coverslips and a source to perhaps buy good slides/coverlsips. .
It is very hard to look at small particles in a field with dirt and
streaks on the so called pre-cleaned slides
thanks
bob
