  • Specifically designed for use in microscopy and laboratory settings

Uses

  • The primary use for the cover glass is in microscopy
  • It is used to cover specimens mounted on a microscope slide for observation
  • This process helps to:
    • Flatten the specimen into a single, consistent plane for clear viewing
    • Protect the microscope's objective lens from contacting the specimen or the liquid sample
    • Keep the specimen in place and seal it (if mounted in a liquid medium) to prevent drying out
Features
  • Material:
    • Made of glass
  • Dimensions:
    • Measures 13mm x 17mm
  • Thickness:
    • It is a #1 thickness cover glass, which typically ranges from 0.13mm to 0.16mm and is a standard thickness for most general-purpose microscopes
  • Sterility:
    • The product is non-sterile
  • Latex-free:
    • It is not made with natural rubber latex

Benefits

  • Optimal Optical Clarity:
    • The high-quality glass and precise thickness (No. 1) ensure minimal optical distortion, allowing for clear and accurate microscopic examination
  • Consistency:
    • Adhering to the standard #1 thickness helps ensure compatibility with standard microscope objectives, which are often corrected for this specific cover glass thickness, leading to reliable and consistent results
  • Convenience:
    • The pre-cut, uniform size (13mm x 17mm) and bulk packaging (approx. 200 pieces) provide a convenient, ready-to-use supply for routine lab work
  • Cost-Effective:
    • As a standard, non-sterile lab accessory, it provides an economical solution for everyday microscopy needs
