Hello,

I want to grow bacteria on glass coverslips by immersing them in a liquid bacterial culture. I would like to fix them to the bottom of petri plates or well plates , because otherwise they float in the medium. I've tried double sided adhesive tape, but when I try to remove the cover glass slip for fixation, they often shatter since they're strongly adhered to the tape. I would like to remove them from the original container because after fixing I need to adhere them to substrates with carbon tape for SEM visualization.

Are there any recommended techniques for fixing the cover slips in place during inoculation and then easy removal afterwards?

Thanks in advance.
