Description
Cover glasses 12 × 12 mm with thickness No. 1 (0,13–0,16 mm) are precision glass coverslips intended for mounting specimens on microscope slides. Each carton holds ten plastic grip boxes of 100 pieces, delivering a total of 1000 cover glasses ready for routine laboratory use. The controlled thickness range ensures reliable optical performance and consistent focusing across brightfield and related microscopy techniques. Supplied from manufacturer Hecht, these square coverslips combine uniform dimensions with practical packaging that protects the fragile glass while allowing easy one-handed dispensing. The plastic grip boxes reduce handling damage and support clean workflow organisation in histology, cytology and general life-science settings. Volume pricing remains valid for assorted size orders, making the range flexible for laboratories that stock multiple formats. The 12 mm square format seats securely on standard slides and pairs effectively with common mounting media for long-term specimen preservation and examination.

Questions about Cover glasses in plastic boxes of 100 pieces (10 boxes in a carton), thickness 1
What is this article?
Cover glasses in plastic boxes of 100 pieces (10 boxes in a carton), thickness 1 is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Hecht 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.
