Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.

We are developing a program to let kids compare a variety of magnifying 
devices in our galleries and would like to use bacteria as one of the 
specimens.  For safety's sake, we want to avoid using glass slides, and 
are considering a thick laminating film instead.  Has anyone tried 
laminating bacteria for use under a microscope?

Thank you - I appreciate hearing about your experiences or suggestions.
