Description
Coverslips 24 x 40 mm, thickness 1 are thin rectangular glass covers used to protect specimens on microscope slides and to create a uniform optical path for light microscopy. The 24 x 40 mm format with thickness grade 1 suits routine brightfield work in histology, cytology, and general laboratory imaging where a stable coverslip layer is required over fixed tissue, smears, or mounted preparations. Correct coverslipping reduces evaporation of mounting medium, flattens the sample, and supports consistent focusing across the field of view. This pack contains 1000 pc(s), giving busy staining and slide-preparation benches a practical bulk supply for daily throughput. The unit weight is 0,678 kg, which helps with storage planning and inventory control in core facilities, diagnostic support labs, and teaching environments. These coverslips from manufacturer DWK Life Sciences align with common slide dimensions and integrate readily into established microscopy accessory workflows. They are intended for laboratories that need clearly specified size and thickness grade without additional performance claims, supporting reproducible coverslipping in research, clinical support, and educational settings that rely on dependable glassware stock.
This article belongs on Microscope slides & cover glasses, in Microscopy & histology.

Questions about Coverslips, 24 x 40 mm, thickness 1, 1000 unit(s)
What is this article?
Coverslips, 24 x 40 mm, thickness 1, 1000 unit(s) is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes DWK Life Sciences 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.
