Description
Coverslip thickness 1.5 round coverslips in borosilicate glass with a diameter of 16 mm are microscopy accessories designed for consistent specimen covering on glass slides. Thickness grade 1.5 is a standard coverslip specification chosen for everyday light-microscopy work where optical clarity and uniform cover-glass geometry matter. The 16 mm circular diameter provides a slightly larger field coverage than smaller discs while remaining compatible with common slide formats used in histology, cytology, and general laboratory imaging. Borosilicate glass construction delivers the durability and chemical resistance associated with quality laboratory glassware. Packs of 1000 pc(s) support high-throughput preparation, teaching laboratories, and shared microscopy facilities that need a reliable stock of matched coverslips. The stated unit weight is 0,160 kg, aiding logistics and shelf organisation. These coverslips from manufacturer Marienfeld form part of the thickness 1.5 borosilicate range and are specified when diameter, material, and pack quantity must align with established microscopy protocols and inventory standards.
This article belongs on Microscope slides & cover glasses, in Microscopy & histology.

What is this article?
Coverslip thickness, 1.5, Borosilicate glass, Ø 16 mm, 1000 unit(s) is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Marienfeld 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.
