The frame slide (upper image on top) and the frame support (upper image on bottom).
Description of the frame slide: The front side of the slide contains the engraved Leica logo. Please note that only the back side of the slide (the side opposite the Leica logo) is foil mounted, and only this side can be used for mounting tissue sections.
Description of the frame support: The Plexiglas frame support contains the lifted surface (clear area) that fits exactly into the cavity or the front side of the frame slide. Not shown, the membrane slide must be turned over to be mounted onto the frame support.

Important: Please note that sterilizing slides by autoclaving or UV-treatment does not guarantee complete destruction of RNases. For RNA preparation, especially from a single cell (corresponds in average to 10-15 pg of total RNA) or from a small number of cells, RNase-free certified slides are recommended (see Table 1). Or alternatively, regular glass slides can be pretreated with reagents such as RNase Zap® (Ambion).
