Description
Cover glasses, round, Ø 12 mm are precision microscopy accessories consisting of thin circular glass discs with a diameter of 12 mm and a thickness of 0,13-0,17 mm. Each pack contains 100 pieces, providing a convenient supply for everyday laboratory sample preparation. These cover glasses are positioned over specimens mounted on microscope slides to protect the material, flatten it for clear observation and establish a uniform optical path. The 12 mm diameter accommodates a range of specimen sizes and standard slide formats, while the tightly controlled thickness ensures compatibility with high-resolution objectives and common immersion methods. Product specifications indicate both depth and width of 12 mm, together with net and gross weight of 0,009 kg. Supplied by manufacturer Witeg, the cover glasses are suitable for histology, cytology, microbiology and materials science applications under light microscopy. The round profile encourages even pressure distribution and reduces the likelihood of air bubbles during mounting. Reliable dimensional consistency and practical packaging support efficient workflows in both research and routine diagnostic laboratories, making these cover glasses an essential consumable for microscopy stations that require high-quality round coverslips of defined diameter and thickness.

Questions about Cover glasses circular
What is this article?
Cover glasses circular is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Witeg 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.
