Microscope Slide Collections
The MCZ has a diversity of microscope slides, which include both histologically sectioned vertebrate and invertebrate specimens, as well as whole or partial invertebrate specimens mounted on slides. Many of the MCZ’s slide collections are being curated, cleaned, and digitized to facilitate access for researchers worldwide both as a result of NSF grants and departmental curation work.
