Cover Slips

Cover Slips: Essential for Stabilizing and Protecting Microscopic Samples

Cover slips are fundamental tools in microscopy laboratories, used to maintain and protect samples under observation. These transparent slips are placed over the sample on the microscope slide, creating a stable surface for accurate microscopic examination. Their protective and stabilizing function is essential to prevent contamination or damage to samples during observation.

Key Features of Cover Slips:

• Sample Stabilization: Cover slips help stabilize the sample during observation, preventing undesired movements that could compromise the analysis.
• Protection from Contamination: In addition to protecting the sample from external contamination, cover slips create a barrier that prevents accidental contamination and physical damage during transport or handling.
• Optimized Observation: Their flat and transparent design is ideal for microscopic observation, especially with high-power objectives requiring a perfectly uniform surface.

Available Types and Sizes:

• Cover Slips 20x20 mm – Pack of 200 pcs: Ideal for small samples: Perfect for small liquid drops, cytological or microbiological smears, these slips are compact and suitable for small-sized samples.
• Cover Slips 22x22 mm – Pack of 200 pcs: Versatile size: This is the most commonly used size in laboratories for tissue and cell observation, fitting most standard microscopic preparations.
• Cover Slips 24x24 mm – Pack of 200 pcs: Larger surface: Ideal for larger preparations such as histological sections, cell cultures, or samples requiring a wider field of view.
• Cover Slips 24x50 mm – Pack of 100 pcs: Extra length: Perfect for larger samples like tissues or microorganisms that need more space for proper observation. Also used in experiments requiring longer and more detailed observation.
