Description
Square cover slips of transparent borosilicate glass in the 24 x 24 mm size offer broad specimen coverage for standard microscope slides used in light microscopy and histology. The clear borosilicate material forms a protective optical layer over stained sections, smears, and wet mounts, supporting routine brightfield observation in clinical, academic, and research laboratories. At 24 x 24 mm, these coverslips suit larger sample areas while remaining compatible with conventional slide formats and mounting techniques. Each unit pack holds 1000 pieces and weighs 0,265 kg, accommodating high-volume slide preparation schedules. Manufactured by Epredia, the transparent borosilicate glass cover slips integrate into everyday coverslipping steps with common mounting media. Their square geometry helps achieve even contact across the preparation, which is beneficial when consistent optical conditions are required across multiple slides. Suitable for teaching collections, diagnostic benches, and general laboratory microscopy, they complement standard microscope slides wherever a larger square coverslip format is preferred for specimen protection and imaging.

Questions about Cover slips, square or rectangular, transp. borosilicate glass, 24 x 24 mm
What is this article?
Cover slips, square or rectangular, transp. borosilicate glass, 24 x 24 mm is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Epredia 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.
