The objectives of this study were (1) to analyze the skills of students who took the Microtechnical course in making microscopic preparations during the Covid-19 pandemic, and (2) to analyze the factors supporting the skills of students who took the Microtechnic course in making microscopic preparations. This type of survey research, a population of 134 students who took Microtechnic courses in the even semester of 2019/2020. Students' skills in making microscopic preparations are measured by performance observation sheets which are then categorized. Factors supporting student skills in making microscopic preparations were measured by a questionnaire which was then presented. The results of the study, most of the students who took the microtechnic course were skilled at making cross-sectional preparations of leaves using the freehand slice method. The supporting factors for students' skills in make microscopic preparations were obtained from reading microtechnic books and previous practical experiences on plant anatomy. All the students were skilled at making thin blood smears. Most of the supporting factors for students' skills in make microscopic preparations were obtained from reading micro-technical books and viewing the YouTube online platform. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
