Microscope Cover Slips
Microscope Cover Slips (Product Code: SLE/EZ/19) are thin, pre-cleaned covers placed over specimens on microscope slides to flatten and protect wet mounts in school, college and teaching laboratories.

What Are Microscope Cover Slips Used For?
Almost every temporary mount in a biology practical, from onion peel and cheek cells to pond water and stained tissue, needs a cover slip. It spreads the drop of water or stain into a thin, even layer, keeps the specimen flat so it stays in focus, slows drying under the lamp, and stops liquid touching the objective lens. Thin cover slips leave room for higher-power objectives to focus close to the specimen.
To avoid trapped air, touch one edge of the slip to the drop and lower it slowly with a needle or probe. Hold slips by their edges, or pick them up with forceps, as fingerprints show up clearly under magnification. Cover slips are fragile, so collect broken pieces in a dedicated glass-waste container. They are an everyday item on any list of microscope slides and school microscopy supplies in India.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size are the Microscope Cover Slips?
The Microscope Cover Slips measure 22 mm x 22 mm and are 0.13 to 0.16 mm thick. This size covers the specimen area of a standard microscope slide and is common in school and college practicals.
Do the Microscope Cover Slips need cleaning before use?
No. The Microscope Cover Slips are supplied pre-cleaned and described as free from bubbles, scratches and striations. Handle them by the edges or with forceps so fingerprints do not undo that cleaning.
How many Microscope Cover Slips are in a pack?
The listing does not state a pack size for the Microscope Cover Slips. Tell us how many you need through our contact page, and the quotation will confirm the pack size and number of packs.
How do I avoid air bubbles under Microscope Cover Slips?
Place a drop of water or stain on the specimen, touch one edge of the Microscope Cover Slip to the drop, and lower it slowly with a teasing needle. The liquid spreads ahead of the slip and pushes air out.
Are Microscope Cover Slips reusable?
Microscope Cover Slips are usually treated as consumables in teaching labs, because they are thin and break easily during cleaning. Collect used or broken slips in a glass-waste container rather than a general bin.
Who supplies the Microscope Cover Slips?
The Microscope Cover Slips are supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India. Schools, colleges and dealers in India and international markets can order them alone or with slides and microscopes.
