Description
Cover slips, square or rectangular are transparent borosilicate glass coverslips sized 21 x 26 mm for standard microscopy and histology mounting. They provide a clear, flat protective layer over specimens on microscope slides, supporting brightfield observation and routine laboratory imaging. Each pack contains 1000 pc(s) and weighs 0,300 kg, making the format practical for busy pathology, research, and teaching laboratories that consume coverslips in volume. The transparent borosilicate glass offers reliable optical clarity for stained tissue sections, cytological smears, and other prepared specimens. These square or rectangular cover slips from manufacturer Epredia align with common slide workflows and help maintain consistent mounting geometry from sample to sample. They are intended as everyday microscopy accessories within labware ranges for histology and related light-microscopy techniques. Uniform dimensions aid reproducible coverslipping and reduce handling variation during high-throughput slide preparation. Suitable wherever durable, optically clear glass coverslips in the 21 x 26 mm format are required for specimen protection and viewing.

Questions about Cover slips, square or rectangular, transp. borosilicate glass, 21 x 26 mm
What is this article?
Cover slips, square or rectangular, transp. borosilicate glass, 21 x 26 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.
