Description
Forceps for handling cover slips, curved according to Kühne, are specialised laboratory instruments for the careful manipulation of delicate glass cover slips in microscopy and histology. Made from steel 18/9, they combine corrosion-resistant construction with a curved tip geometry that supports secure grip when transferring, positioning or retrieving thin cover slips during sample preparation. The overall length of 115 mm gives a compact working format suited to fine bench work and use under the microscope. Supplied as one piece with a weight of 0,016 kg, this tool from manufacturer ROTH SELECTION is intended for routine life-science, pathology and materials-microscopy workflows where dedicated cover-slip forceps are preferred over general-purpose tweezers. The Kühne-style curve helps control placement while limiting slippage or edge damage to optical glass. Stainless steel 18/9 supports durability and straightforward cleaning between procedures. These forceps belong to the category of special tweezers used wherever steady, controlled force is required without contaminating the specimen surface, making them a practical addition to microscopy, histology and related laboratory instrument sets.

What is this article?
Forceps for handling cover slip, curved, according to Kühne, steel 18/9, L 115 mm is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth 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.
