Description
Cover glasses for microscopy 18×18 mm, No. 1 are high-quality slips for light-microscopy specimen preparation. Manufactured from chemically resistant borosilicate glass D 263® M, they provide optical clarity and chemical durability for routine and specialised imaging. Each unit pack contains 1,000 pieces, organised as 100 pieces per hinged box within the outer carton, supporting efficient laboratory stock handling. The glasses are intended for applications in accordance with EU Regulation 2017/746 on in-vitro diagnostic medical devices (IVDR), carry a CE mark and include batch numbering for full traceability. These cover glasses from manufacturer Marienfeld suit histology, cytology, microbiology and general life-science workflows where consistent No. 1 thickness and 18×18 mm format are required. The borosilicate composition resists common mounting media and staining reagents, helping maintain specimen integrity during examination. Suitable for high-throughput laboratories as well as research and diagnostic settings that demand documented quality and reliable optical performance on standard microscope stages.

Questions about Microscope cover glasses 18x18 mm, No. 1
What is this article?
Microscope cover glasses 18x18 mm, No. 1 is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Marienfeld 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.
