Microscope Slide Cover Forceps
Microscope Slide Cover Forceps (Product Code: SLE/M/123) is a pair of stainless steel forceps used to pick up, place and lower cover glasses and to handle microscope slides when preparing mounts in biology and microbiology labs. They are 120 mm long, with plain, wide tips suited to gripping thin glass by its edge. The forceps are made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

What Are Cover Glass Forceps Used For?
When students make temporary slides of onion peel, cheek cells or pond water, the cover glass must be lowered at an angle so the liquid spreads without trapping air bubbles. Holding the thin glass with forceps instead of fingers keeps it free of fingerprints and gives far better control over that slow lowering. Wide, plain tips spread the grip along the edge of the glass, which reduces the chance of cracking it.
Rest one edge of the cover glass on the slide beside the drop, support the opposite edge with the forceps, and let it down slowly. The same forceps lift slides from a tray, take cover glasses out of their box and transfer small sections onto a slide. After staining work, rinse them in water and dry them before storage.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Number of pairs, for example one per student or per bench

Frequently Asked Questions
What size and material are the Microscope Slide Cover Forceps?
Microscope Slide Cover Forceps are made of stainless steel, are 120 mm long and have plain, wide tips. The length keeps fingers clear of the slide, while the wide tips hold a cover glass by its edge.
Why use forceps instead of fingers for cover glasses?
Microscope Slide Cover Forceps keep fingerprints and skin oils off cover glasses and slides, and give steadier control when lowering a cover glass onto a mount. That helps prevent air bubbles under the cover glass and lowers the risk of breaking the thin glass.
Do the Microscope Slide Cover Forceps have serrated tips?
No. Microscope Slide Cover Forceps have plain, wide tips rather than toothed or serrated ones, which suits smooth glass cover slips and slides. For gripping tissue during dissection, forceps with serrated tips are the more usual choice.
Who manufactures the Microscope Slide Cover Forceps?
Microscope Slide Cover Forceps are manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Quotations and repeat orders come directly from the manufacturer.
How should the forceps be cleaned?
Rinse Microscope Slide Cover Forceps in water after use with stains or mounting fluids, wipe them with alcohol if needed, and dry them fully before storage. Drying keeps the stainless steel tips clean and ready for the next practical.
Can the Microscope Slide Cover Forceps be ordered in class sets?
Yes. Microscope Slide Cover Forceps can be ordered in class quantities by schools, colleges, dealers and importers in India and international markets. Send the number of pairs and the delivery location through the contact page or the enquiry cart.
