Description
Cover glasses for microscopy measuring 24 x 48 mm with a thickness of 0,13 – 0,17 mm are precision rectangular coverslips intended for light microscopy specimen preparation and mounting. The 24 mm by 48 mm format offers ample coverage for tissue sections, smears and larger preparations on standard microscope slides. Controlled thickness in the 0,13 – 0,17 mm interval matches the widely used No. 1 cover-glass range and helps keep the optical path consistent under routine objectives. Manufacture follows DIN 58 884, and the coverslips are CE marked in accordance with IVD Directive 98/79/EC for use in environments aligned with in-vitro diagnostic requirements. Each pack contains 1000 pieces, supporting continuous work in busy histology, cytology and general microscopy laboratories. These cover glasses from manufacturer Hirschmann are chosen where dimensional reliability and regulatory alignment matter for everyday slide preparation. Consistent length, width and thickness aid reproducible mounting with common media and reduce variation between serial sections or multi-sample batches in research and diagnostic settings.

Questions about COVER GLASSES FOR MICROSCOPY, 24 X 48 MM, T 0,13 - 0,17 MM
What is this article?
COVER GLASSES FOR MICROSCOPY, 24 X 48 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.
