What Is the Cover Slip Used For?
A cover slip brings the specimen into a single focal plane, slows drying, and keeps stain and water off the objective lens. In class 9 and class 10 practicals it covers temporary mounts of onion peel, cheek cells and leaf peels; for a permanent mount the stained specimen is sealed under it with a mounting medium such as Canada balsam or DPX. Touch one edge to the drop on the slide and lower the cover slip slowly with a needle so that air is pushed out ahead of it. The glass is thin, so hold it by the edges and store it dry.
Frequently Asked Questions
How thick is this cover slip?
The listing does not state a thickness. If your microscope work or tender specifies one, say so in your enquiry; the separate Cover Glass listing gives 0.13 mm for the same 18 x 18 size.
Can it be used for permanent mounts?
Yes, the listing presents it for permanent mounts. Seal the stained specimen under the cover slip with a mounting medium and let it set before storing the slide flat.
Are microscope slides included?
No, this listing covers the cover slip only. Glass slides are a separate item, linked below, and can be added to the same enquiry.
Who manufactures this cover slip?
Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, trading as JLab, makes it at its works in Ambala, Haryana, and quotes for it directly as the manufacturer.
OEM Manufacturer
JLab is the trading name of Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, a laboratory glassware and biology lab equipment manufacturer in India, incorporated in 2017 and based on Hargolal Road, Ambala, Haryana. Its cover slips come from JLab’s own works instead of a trading house, so schools, colleges, dealers and importers order them direct from the maker, they are checked by eye before packing, and repeat supplies are arranged by the same manufacturer. JLab exports worldwide and ships to buyers in every region — for example Bhutan in South Asia, Samoa in Oceania, Japan in East Asia, Denmark in Northern Europe and Congo in Central Africa.
Slide Mounting Items
- Glass Slides — clear rectangular glass microscope slides to carry the specimen.
- Dropper — a glass dropper with rubber teat for placing the drop of water or stain.
- Needle & Brush — a straight dissecting needle for lowering the cover slip, with a soft nylon brush.
- Compound Microscope — a student microscope with mirror illumination for viewing the finished mount.
