Description
Cover glasses for microscopy measuring 15 x 15 mm with a thickness of 0,13–0,17 mm are precision coverslips for specimen preparation on microscope slides. They are specified to DIN 58 884 and carry CE marking in accordance with IVD 98/79 EG. The square 15 mm format suits standard slide work in clinical, teaching and research microscopy, while the 0,13–0,17 mm thickness range supports clear optical observation under the objective. From manufacturer Hirschmann, these cover glasses are supplied in a pack of 1000 pieces for everyday laboratory consumption. They are used to cover microscopic specimens during examination and imaging across pathology, biology and related disciplines. Defined length, width and thickness help maintain a consistent optical path for routine bright-field and related techniques. The pack has a net weight of 0,085 kg, which is convenient for storage and bench supply. Laboratories rely on correctly dimensioned coverslips as essential consumables; matching size and thickness to the microscope system remains important for reliable imaging results.

Questions about COVER GLASSES FOR MICROSCOPY, 15 X 15 MM, T 0,13 - 0,17 MM
What is this article?
COVER GLASSES FOR MICROSCOPY, 15 X 15 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.
