BRESSER Set Microscope Slides

Importance of Slides and Cover Glasses

Slides and cover glasses are an indispensable accessory which also has an impact on the image quality. For most biological microscopes, the cover glass thickness is an important optical parameter, which is therefore included in the optical design and, if so, printed on the sleeve of every objective. You can usually see the number 0.17, which is the thickness in millimeters. For demanding applications in the laboratory, or for microphotography, using cover glasses with the desired thickness and high quality is necessary.

Specifications of Cover Glasses

The cover glasses included in the set are made of Boro 3.3 glass and are standardized to a thickness of 0.16-0.19mm. So they match the desired 0.17mm really well and provide the best possible image quality. These Boro 3.3 cover glasses are:

• Pure white, without streaks
• Pre-cleaned and ready to use
• Especially suitable for fluorescence microscopy

Specifications of Slides

The slides are made of soda lime glass and have ground edges for safe handling. They feature a matte field for writing on both sides (top and bottom). Slides and cover glasses are packed separately in a vacuum sealed bag, containing moisture absorbent. They can be stored for a long time without loss of quality from hydrolysis and are easy to take out.
