Description
Cover glass forceps, 105 mm are specialised laboratory tweezers for safe handling of delicate cover glasses during microscopy sample preparation. Their compact 105 mm overall length supports precise placement and removal of thin glass coverslips on slides without excessive bulk in the working field. In histology, cytology, and routine light-microscopy workflows, controlled forceps action helps reduce chipping, fingerprints, and misalignment when mounting specimens. Supplied as a single piece with a net weight of 0,01 kg and a gross weight of 0,016 kg, the instrument is light and easy to manoeuvre beside staining racks, mounting media, and stereo or compound microscopes. These cover glass forceps from manufacturer Hammacher belong to the tweezers category used across life-science and materials laboratories that prepare flat optical specimens. Produced in Germany (Nordrhein-Westfalen), they suit teaching labs and research benches where repeatable, gentle glass handling is essential. Choose this 105 mm model when a dedicated cover-slip tool is needed for clean, accurate slide preparation and everyday microscopy support.
This article is part of Microscope slides & cover glasses, in Microscopy & histology.

Questions about Cover glass forceps, 105 mm
What is this article?
Cover glass forceps, 105 mm is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Hammacher for laboratory use. It sits in Microscope slides & cover glasses, inside Microscopy & histology, in Lab instruments.
A slide is the glass a specimen sits on. A cover glass is the thin sheet over it, of a thickness the objective was designed for. A cover glass of the wrong thickness softens the image. Charged and plain slides hold sections differently.
A light microscope forms an image with glass lenses and transmitted or reflected light. A stereo microscope is the lower-magnification instrument for dissecting and for looking at a surface. Fluorescence needs a light source and filters matched to the dye. Histology is the preparation that makes a tissue readable: fixation, a cassette, a section, a stain. The objective's magnification and numerical aperture decide the resolution. The slide and the cover glass decide whether the section sits in the focal plane. Stains and dyes as substances are identified on PubChem. Papers on the methods are on PubMed.
