1. A biological assembly for effecting the examination of a sample in a liquid medium under magnification, comprising:
- a transparent substrate having a first main surface;
means forming at least one sample chamber and an immediately adjacent overflow chamber on the first main surface and receptive of a sample in a liquid medium, said means comprising a thin film having for each sample chamber and overflow chamber, means defining a first opening therein corresponding to the sample chamber and means defining a second opening surrounding the first opening and corresponding to the overflow chamber, wherein the first and second openings form a separating wall of thin film therebetween; and
a transparent cover having first main surface superposable on the thin film to cover the at least one sample chamber and overflow chamber when a sample is received therein, wherein the cover has a second main surface opposite the first main surface and having a thin film pattern thereon demarcating an area for aligning the area of the cover with the at least one sampling chamber.

Abstract
A biological assembly for effecting the examination of a sample in a liquid medium under magnification. The assembly includes a transparent slide with a sample chamber and an immediately adjacent overflow chamber formed on one main surface by a thin film. The sample chamber is receptive of a sample in a liquid medium. transparent slide, having a pattern for aligning it with the sample chamber, is disposed over the sample chamber. The transparent slide includes a grid etched into the lower surface thereof to enable the counting of cells under magnification.
