Condensation on slides.

Post by Mo Vaughan »

Hi Members,
I have been going through my collection of pollen slides and have come across a number of them that seem to have condensation under the cover glass, under the slide and on top of the cover glass. These are stored in plastic slide boxes which contain 100 slides.
I have tried airing them and also trying to clean them with ethanol.
On viewing the slides they are not clear, there seems to be a 'haze' covering the object.
Any suggestions as to how one keeps slides in good condition.
Oh forgot to mention that I seal then with nail varnish.
Many thanks
