Description
Cover glasses with controlled thickness 0,17 ± 0,01 mm measuring 24 x 24 mm are precision coverslips intended for microscope slide preparations in laboratory and medical environments. These cover glasses deliver consistent optical path length thanks to the tightly specified thickness tolerance of 0,17 ± 0,01 mm, supporting clear imaging in brightfield, phase contrast and routine fluorescence work. Each piece measures 24 mm in width and 24 mm in depth, matching common slide formats used in histology, cytology and general microscopy. Packaged as 100 pc(s), the cover glasses enable efficient stock management for high-throughput laboratories. Produced by manufacturer Hecht, they provide uniform dimensional control that helps minimise focus drift and optical artefacts during high-magnification observation. The controlled thickness specification is particularly useful when reproducible results across multiple specimens are required. Suitable for mounting stained sections, smears and wet preparations, these cover glasses integrate smoothly into standard laboratory workflows while maintaining the optical quality needed for reliable microscopic evaluation.
This article is part of Microscope slides & cover glasses, in Microscopy & histology.

Questions about Cover glasses, selected thickness 24 x 24 mm
What is this article?
Cover glasses, selected thickness 24 x 24 mm is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Hecht 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.
