Description
Cover glasses for microscopy 20 x 20 mm with thickness 0,13 - 0,17 mm are square glass coverslips for microscopic specimen examination. They are manufactured in accordance with DIN 58 884 and are CE marked pursuant to IVD 98/79 EG. The defined lateral dimensions of 20 mm by 20 mm and the thickness range of 0,13 - 0,17 mm provide a standardised format for covering samples on microscope slides. Pack size is 1000 pieces, making the product practical for laboratories with regular microscopy throughput. These cover glasses from manufacturer Hirschmann are intended for microscopy use in laboratory environments that require DIN-compliant coverslips with IVD-related CE marking. Width and depth are each 20 mm according to the product specifications. The controlled thickness supports optical observation under the microscope when specimens are prepared on slides. With a net weight of 0,151 kg per pack, the product is supplied ready for laboratory stock. Country of origin is Germany. These cover glasses serve as protective covers for slide-mounted preparations during microscopic examination.

Questions about COVER GLASSES FOR MICROSCOPY, 20 X 20 MM, T 0,13 - 0,17 MM
What is this article?
COVER GLASSES FOR MICROSCOPY, 20 X 20 MM, T 0,13 - 0,17 MM is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Hirschmann 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.
