Description
Staining troughs according to Coplin, low form are specialised laboratory vessels made from thick-walled soda-lime glass (pressed glass) for holding up to 10 microscope slides measuring 76 x 26 mm. Each trough is supplied with a black screw cap of urea 131.5 that incorporates a 1 mm PE foam insert and a GPI 48-500 thread. Glass staining articles produced from thick-walled soda-lime glass possess a relatively high coefficient of thermal expansion. Owing to the material properties they must never be exposed to rapid temperature changes; heating and cooling must always be performed slowly in order to avoid stress cracks. Available from manufacturer Marienfeld in packs of 6 pieces, these low-form Coplin troughs support routine histological and cytological staining workflows that require reliable immersion of multiple slides. The robust pressed-glass construction provides mechanical stability during repeated laboratory use, while the sealed screw closure with foam insert helps retain staining solutions. The compact low form facilitates convenient handling and complete coverage of the slides in standard staining procedures.
This article is part of Microscope slides & cover glasses, in Microscopy & histology.

Questions about Staining jars acc. to Coplin, low shape
What is this article?
Staining jars acc. to Coplin, low shape 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.
