Slides & Coverslips

These slides are useful in Light Microscopy applications and work as moist chambers for observing hanging drops. This single depression cavity slide, also known as a well slide is designed to hold slightly thicker objects, such as liquids and tissue cultures.

Circular Glass Coverglasses manufactured from optical quality borosilicate to the highest standards. Available in thicknesses: 0, 1, 1½ and 2. Allows coverage of microscope samples, which can also protect the objective lens of the microscope against any unwanted transfer from the sample being observed. Students should be warned of their delicate nature.

These volume/counting cells are used to define precise volumes of liquid for counting particles in a specified volume.

These large microscope slides are specially made for large tissue sections, such as brain, to allow uninterrupted examination without loss of tissue. 76mm x 102mm
