Description
Cover glasses thickness 1 = 0,13 - 0,16 mm for manual use are precision glass coverslips intended for microscopy and specimen preparation in the laboratory. Measuring 20 × 20 mm with a defined thickness range of 0,13–0,16 mm (thickness grade 1), they deliver the optical flatness and clarity required for routine manual mounting on standard slides. Each plastic box contains 200 pieces and the outer carton holds 1000 pieces, supporting both daily bench work and bulk laboratory supply. These cover glasses from manufacturer Hecht are suited to histological, cytological and general light-microscopy workflows where operators apply coverslips by hand. The square 20 × 20 mm format matches common slide dimensions, enabling secure sample coverage without excess overhang. Consistent thickness helps maintain focus and image quality during observation and documentation. The protective plastic boxes keep the fragile glass clean and ready for immediate use, while the carton quantity reduces restocking frequency in high-throughput environments. Ideal for teaching labs, research groups and diagnostic settings that rely on reliable, manually applied coverslips of standardised thickness and size.

What is this article?
Cover glasses, thickness 1 = 0,13-0,16 mm, for manual use, 200 pcs/plastic box, 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.
