When you prepare the specimen and you have to put the slide cover do it gently, in order to prevent some microorganisms to be flattened. You can also facilitate this process by putting a hair or something else which helps to keep an empty space between cover slide and sample. | When you prepare the specimen and you have to put the slide cover do it gently, in order to prevent some microorganisms to be flattened.

'''Advice on how to cultivate a slim mold:''' | |||
* If you use a dry slim mold you should bring it back alive in a wet environment (agar/filter paper) | |||
* Better not use old slim mold, the might become moldy fast | |||
* Sterile environment (petri dish or bigger container) | |||
* Don't feed it at the beginning | |||
* Give it just 1 oat meal per when it starts growing/moving, if you feed it too much (lots of oat meals) it will become moldy fast; when it is big enough you can give it more oats meal | |||
* Don't forget about your slim mold! If you forget about it for a couple of days, it will be moldy. | |||
