Hi l want know What materials do we use on the slide, and what are the materials and devices to detect the presence of asbestos in the laboratory? Please
If your attempting diy with internet learning alone, it will be fragments of revealed info for asbestos identification of the 6 commercialized types of asbestos. (I'm currently in that process) CHRYSOTILE, AMOSITE, CROCIDOLITE, TREMOLITE, ACTINOLITE AND Anthophyllite The oils on the slides are called refractive index oils (very expensive) polarised light microscope is needed for identification perposes. The most common type of asbestos is "chrysotile" (although not said to be the most dangerous) the RI oil for chrysotile is cargille 1. 550. It's a long road ahead.. Learn the dangers before learning identication. Vented hood for indoor lab. Ideal to have a low magnification stereo microscope digging out fibers to later put in the polarised microscope. polarised light microscope tuned for asbestos equipped with gypsom plate, bertrand lense.. Am I forgetting anything (probably) Find microscope friends to compare notes. God bless you.
It's a long road to learn on your own. Chrysotile (1 of 6 types of asbestos) requires cargille 1.550 refrative index oil to reveal the colors at the known angles in rotation on the polarised light microscope stage. Vented hood is needed for the stereo microscope to keep the loose fibers out of your lungs during microscope observation. Expensive dangerous hobby. 2 microscopes make it easier. Cheaper *stereo mic for fiber locating, more expensive *polarised light mic for fiber indentification (6 types of asbestos) 95% asbestos containing construction materials used chrysotile. Safety first, God bless you.
Also in Germany there is unfortunately a massive lack of education when it comes to asbestos - also and especially with regard to possible occurrences. There is a whole range of materials that can contain asbestos. These can be crush seals made of copper, spacers made of double-walled glass flasks in thermos flasks, brake linings, individual components of electrical appliances and much more. Unfortunately, it is no longer possible to reconstruct which building material was used in each building, for example. In order to create certainty and thus safety in handling, therefore, only a test by a certified laboratory can actually provide help. Stay healthy!

Asbestos can be detected in labs using phase contrast microscopes (PCM) but needs to be done by labs with the necessary equipment and expertise.
