What Is a Cover Slip Used For?
Every wet mount in a biology practical needs a cover slip: an onion peel or cheek-cell preparation for the class 9 temporary mounts, a drop of pond water, or a stained leaf section. The thin glass flattens the specimen, stops it drying out quickly and protects the objective lens from liquid. For a permanent mount, the specimen is sealed under the cover slip with a mounting medium such as DPX or Canada balsam so the slide can be kept and reused in later classes. To avoid air bubbles, touch one edge of the cover slip to the drop and lower it slowly with a needle. Cover slips are thin and fragile, so handle them by the edges and keep them in their box until use.

Who makes these cover slips?
Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd (JLab) makes them at its works in Ambala, Haryana, India, and quotes for them as the manufacturer.
OEM Manufacturer
JLab is the trading name of Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, a manufacturer of microscopy consumables, glassware and biology lab equipment in India, incorporated in 2017 and based on Hargolal Road, Ambala, Haryana. Its cover slips come from JLab’s own works rather than from a trader, so schools, colleges, dealers and importers order direct from the maker and receive repeat supplies from the same source. JLab exports worldwide and ships to buyers in every region — for example Cameroon in Central Africa, Lesotho in Southern Africa, Hungary in Eastern Europe, Jordan in the Middle East and Uzbekistan in Central Asia. Tender details are on the JLab lab tenders page.
For Making Slides
- Glass Slide — plain rectangular microscope slides to go under the cover slip.
- Needle & Brush — a straight dissecting needle for lowering the cover slip, plus a soft nylon brush for cleaning tubes.
- Dropper — a glass dropper with teat for adding water or stain.
- Compound Microscope — a student microscope for viewing the finished mount.
More slide and microscope items are in the Biology Lab range and the Biology Lab Equipment section.
