What Are Glass Cover Slips Used For?
A cover slip is placed over a drop of mountant, water or stain on a microscope slide to flatten the specimen, keep it from drying out and protect the objective lens from contact with the sample. In school biology practicals they are used for temporary mounts such as onion epidermis, cheek cells, pond water and pollen, and in colleges for stained smears and sections.
To avoid trapping air bubbles, touch one edge of the slip to the liquid and lower it slowly with a needle or forceps. Handle the slips by their edges, as the 0.13–0.17 mm glass is thin and breaks easily, and put broken pieces in a glass waste container. Their thickness range includes 0.17 mm, the cover-glass thickness many microscope objectives are designed for. As a biology lab equipment supplier in India, we can quote them together with plain slides for new practical kits.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Number of boxes (each approximately 100 pieces)
- Confirmation that the 22 x 22 mm square size suits your slides and mounts
- Whether plain microscope slides or cover-slip forceps should be added
