Description
Cover glasses with controlled thickness 0,17 ± 0,01 mm measuring 40 x 24 mm are precision laboratory consumables for specimen mounting on microscope slides. The tight thickness tolerance supports consistent optical performance in brightfield, phase-contrast and fluorescence microscopy by maintaining a uniform optical path. With a width of 40 mm and depth of 24 mm, these cover glasses fit standard slide formats used in histology, cytology and routine life-science workflows. Supplied in packs of 100 pieces from manufacturer Hecht, they enable secure sample protection while preserving clarity for high-resolution observation. Laboratory teams select controlled-thickness cover glasses when dimensional accuracy is essential for reproducible imaging and measurement. The 40 x 24 mm format integrates smoothly into everyday slide-preparation protocols, helping minimise optical variation across serial sections or multi-sample runs. These cover glasses form a reliable component of microscopy setups where precise cover-slip geometry contributes directly to image quality and analytical consistency.
This article is part of Microscope slides & cover glasses, in Microscopy & histology.

Questions about Cover glasses, selected thickness 40 x 24 mm
What is this article?
Cover glasses, selected thickness 40 x 24 mm is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Hecht 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.
