Description
Hellendahl staining trough made of glass is a classic laboratory vessel designed to hold up to nine microscope slides during histological and cytological staining workflows. Fabricated from neutral glass (LBG N), the trough offers good chemical resistance and optical clarity for routine dye baths, rinses, and differentiation steps. A matching lid is included to limit evaporation and reduce contamination of staining solutions between uses. The Hellendahl format provides organised slide spacing that supports consistent immersion and easy handling when transferring specimens through multi-step protocols. Supplied as a single unit with a net weight of 0,400 kg, this glass trough from manufacturer Labbox suits teaching laboratories, pathology benches, and research histology suites that prefer durable glassware over disposable plastic alternatives. Neutral-glass construction helps maintain solution integrity across common aqueous and alcoholic stains used in everyday slide preparation. Compact and straightforward to clean, the vessel integrates smoothly into existing staining racks and workstations without specialised adapters.

Questions about Staining jar, acc. to Hellendahl, for 9 slides
What is this article?
Staining jar, acc. to Hellendahl, for 9 slides is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Labbox 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.
