Description
Round cover slips made of transparent borosilicate glass with a diameter of 15 mm support microscopy and histology specimen covering on the laboratory bench. The circular outline is suited to preparations that benefit from a round coverslip rather than a rectangular format, including smaller mounts and centered sample areas. Transparent borosilicate glass delivers the optical clarity needed for routine transmitted-light microscopy while remaining a familiar glass type in microscopy accessories. Each pack contains 1000 pc(s), providing a convenient bulk quantity for busy imaging suites, teaching laboratories, and shared histology stations. Unit weight is given as 0,095 kg. Offered by manufacturer Epredia, these cover slips integrate into standard slide-preparation sequences with mounting media and staining workflows. The 15 mm diameter supplies a slightly larger covering area within the round coverslip family, useful when specimens or droplets need a broader glass overlay. As everyday microscopy consumables, they address straightforward covering requirements where diameter consistency and clear borosilicate glass are essential for reliable optical inspection.

What is this article?
Cover slips, round, transp. borosilicate glass, Ø 15 mm, 1000 unit(s) is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Epredia 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.
