What Are No. 1 Glass Cover Slips Used For?
A cover slip flattens a wet specimen into an even layer, slows evaporation and keeps stain or water away from the objective lens. In class, students place a drop of water or stain on the slide, add the specimen, then touch one edge of the cover slip to the liquid and lower it slowly with a needle or forceps so air bubbles are pushed out.
The No. 1 grade describes a thin cover glass, and the 0.13 to 0.16 mm thickness leaves room for the short working distance of high-power objectives. Because the slips are so thin, handle them by the edges or with forceps and keep the box closed when not in use. A box of 100 lets a teacher issue fresh slips for each practical rather than cleaning and reusing them.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Number of boxes of 100 cover slips.
- Whether plain glass slides, cavity slides or cover-slip forceps should be quoted with them.
- Your delivery location and whether the order is a one-off or regular supply.
