making an air wedge with microscope slides



Can anyone give any practical tips on demonstrating thin-film
interference with an air wedge created between two microscope slides?
I've
heard of the idea in more than one place, but the slides I used were
apparently not flat enough, because I could never get nice
straight parallel bands. Is there a particular type or brand of slides
that
works?
