Microscope Glass Slides

A microscope slide is an essential part of lab systems which require a microscope. These are a rectangular and flat piece made of high-quality soda lime or borosilicate glass. A sample or specimen is mounted usually on the center of the microscope slide. This may be a dry mount or a wet mount in case of microbes where glycerol or oil may be used as a medium having the refractive index close to that of glass.A coverslip which is essentially a thinner and smaller version of the glass may be used to cover the specimen and prevent any contamination to the microscope lens.

A typical microscope slide is 3 by 1 inches with 1 mm thickness. A fused quartz material slide, which provides ultraviolet transparency may be used for fluorescence microscopy. A slide holder or box or tray may be required. Microscope Slides can be labeled, washed and reused.
