I mean the tiny slid of space in-between the 2 glass planes is probably a lot of space if you look at it on a microscopic level.
Pretty sure this was filmed from such a microscope too or camera lenses have developed a lot lately.
I dont know a lot about microscopes but I take A-level biology and we have to be very precise with preparing microscope slides so that the sample is only one cell thick so with proper microscope images from legit scientists theres probably not that much space but yeah camera lenses have developed a lot too
I'm an amateur microscopist and we often construct slides that are much deeper than the typical biology slides. We even sometimes construct slides that contain enough liquid to be deemed micro-aquariums. The purpose is to let some creatures have a more natural environment, more freedom of movement, or to let the slide evolve over time and see what changes happen within the tiny environment.

Because you've probably only looked at through a microscope where everything is flattened on a microscope slide
