Description
Cover glass 24 × 40 mm is a rectangular microscope cover slip manufactured from pre-cleaned clear glass for standard laboratory slide mounting. The 24 mm by 40 mm size covers larger specimen areas on conventional microscope slides and is widely used in histology, pathology, cytology and educational microscopy. This pack contains 100 pieces, a practical quantity for routine bench work, smaller series or teaching sets. The cover glasses are packed in plastic boxes and protected by a sealed aluminium sleeve, helping preserve the pre-cleaned clear-glass surfaces until they are opened for use. Offered by manufacturer Labbox, the product supports everyday brightfield observation and general mounting workflows where dimensional consistency and optical clarity of clear glass are essential. Pre-cleaned material reduces the need for extra cleaning before application of mounting medium. Net weight is 0,049 kg. The stated format and protective packaging allow straightforward storage and handling in laboratory stockrooms and fit established slide-preparation procedures without further performance claims beyond the glass type and pack presentation described.

What is this article?
Cover glass, 24 x 40 mm, 100 pcs. 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.
