The cover glass often has several
other functions. It holds the
specimen in place (either by the
weight of the cover slip or, in the
case of a wet mount, by surface
tension) and protects the
specimen from dust and
accidental contact. It protects the
microscope's objective lens from
contacting the specimen and vice
versa; in oil immersion
microscopy or water immersion
microscopy the cover slip
prevents contact between the
immersion liquid and the
specimen. The cover slip can be
glued to the slide so as to seal off
the specimen,
