Within the pages of this site, we endeavor to present a broad selection of Antique Microscope Slides, along with a bit of general background and historical context for the various examples. Most of these slides were produced during the period of time from approximately 1830 to the 1890s, primarily in England, with a few from France, Germany, and the US. We have attempted to show a cross section from the immense variety of commercial mounts produced during that era. While by no means a comprehensive listing, they will hopefully serve as an interesting introduction, and provide some hint of the incredible range and variation of mounted objects that were available. This site is envisioned as an ongoing work in progress, with additional slide images and information being added as time allows. Please explore using the various slide "type" buttons to the left, or the "Individual Mounters" button to view a selection of various slide makers work arranged and listed by individual.  Thanks for visiting!
