How Does It Compare with JLab Microscope Cover Slips?
| Model | Size | Listed details |
|---|---|---|
| This cover slip (EL-SLE-5548) | 22 x 22 mm, square | Glass |
| Microscope Cover Slips | 22 x 22 mm | Fine edges, consistent dimensions, clean surface; packed by weight (10 g packs) |
Both listings give the same 22 x 22 mm size. The Microscope Cover Slips listing describes its edge finish and is sold in 10 g packs, so choose it if you buy by weight; ask JLab to confirm the thickness of either before ordering for a particular microscope.
What Is a Cover Slip Used For?
A cover slip is a very thin square of glass laid over a specimen on a slide. It holds the specimen flat in a thin, even layer of water or stain, keeps the liquid from touching the objective lens, and slows drying while the slide is being viewed. In class 9 biology, students cover onion-peel and cheek-cell mounts with a cover slip, and in class 10 they use one over a leaf peel to see stomata; college labs use the same slips for stained preparations.
Lower the cover slip onto the drop at an angle, supporting one edge with a needle, so that air bubbles are pushed out instead of trapped. Cover slips are fragile: pick them up by the edges, wipe them gently with a soft cloth, and put broken pieces in a glass waste container.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Thickness — tell JLab if your microscope or method needs a particular cover slip thickness.
- Quantity — the minimum order is 10 units; ask how the cover slips are packed for class orders.
- Slides and storage — add microscope slides and a slide box to the same enquiry.
