Description
Rectangular cover glasses 24 x 48 mm are thin glass coverslips intended for microscopy and specimen preparation in laboratory settings. They measure 24 mm by 48 mm and have a thickness of 0,13 – 0,17 mm, providing the dimensional consistency needed for routine optical work on standard microscope slides. Each pack contains 100 pieces, a practical unit quantity for research, teaching and diagnostic laboratories that process multiple samples daily. The rectangular format accommodates a variety of slide layouts and sample sizes commonly encountered in histology, cytology and general light microscopy. These cover glasses from manufacturer Witeg are supplied as plain glass pieces without additional coatings or treatments stated in the product data. Net weight of the pack is 0,055 kg. Originating from Germany (Baden-Württemberg), they offer a straightforward consumable for protecting specimens under the objective while maintaining optical access. The defined thickness range supports clear visualisation in everyday laboratory workflows where reliable coverslip dimensions are required. Suitable for use wherever standard rectangular cover glasses of this size are specified.

Questions about Cover glasses rectangular
What is this article?
Cover glasses rectangular is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Witeg 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.
