Description
Round cover slips made of transparent borosilicate glass with a diameter of 18 mm are standard microscopy accessories for protecting and flattening specimens on glass slides. Their circular format suits routine brightfield work, histology preparations and selected chamber or culture applications where a defined round footprint is preferred. The transparent borosilicate glass provides clear optical viewing of stained or unstained samples during observation and imaging. Each pack contains 1000 pieces, supporting continuous slide preparation in research, diagnostic and teaching laboratories without frequent reordering. At a pack weight of 0,152 kg, the unit remains easy to store and handle at the bench. These cover slips from manufacturer Epredia integrate into everyday microscopy and histology workflows as reliable coverslip stock for mounted specimens. They belong to the established class of microscopy accessories used alongside slides, mounting media and staining protocols. Consistent diameter and round geometry help ensure even coverage of the specimen area when preparing permanent or temporary mounts for light microscopy.
This article is part of Microscope slides & cover glasses, in Microscopy & histology.

What is this article?
Cover slips, round, transp. borosilicate glass, Ø 18 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.
