Description
Square cover glasses measuring 12 x 12 mm with a thickness of 0,13–0,17 mm are supplied in packs of 100 pieces for routine microscopy and sample preparation. These cover glasses provide a uniform, optically suitable surface for mounting specimens on microscope slides. The precise square format of 12 mm by 12 mm ensures consistent coverage of standard specimen areas, while the controlled thickness range supports clear imaging under transmitted-light and other common microscopic techniques. Packed as 100 pc(s) per unit, the product offers convenient laboratory stock for histology, cytology and general life-science workflows. Manufactured by Witeg, the cover glasses originate from Germany and are intended for non-sterile laboratory use. Net and gross weights are both 0,008 kg per pack, reflecting the lightweight nature of the glass pieces. This format belongs to the standard cover-glass category and meets everyday requirements for square coverslips in research and routine diagnostics.

Questions about Cover glasses square
What is this article?
Cover glasses square 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.
