Bresser Microscope Slide Set - 50 Slides, 100 Cover Glasses

Microscope slides provide a flat surface to place a specimen, and cover glasses protect the specimen and the microscope's objective lens while ensuring a consistent focal plane for clear observation.

Yes, both the slides and cover glasses in this set are pre-cleaned to ensure optimal clarity for your microscopic observations.

The microscope slides measure 76 x 26 x 12 mm, and the cover glasses measure 22 x 22 mm.

The set includes 50 microscope slides and 100 cover glasses.

Cover glasses are typically disposable for best results. While they can be cleaned, microscopic imperfections or scratches from reuse can affect observation quality.

This set is ideal for educational and hobbyist use. For highly specialized or critical research, specific types of slides (e.g., depression slides, hemocytometers) or sterile, certified slides might be required.

Store them in their original packaging in a dry place, away from dust and moisture, to maintain cleanliness before use.

When placing the cover glass, try lowering it at a 45-degree angle to the slide. This allows air to escape more easily.

Ensure the slide and cover glass are clean and free of smudges. Check microscope focus. Verify the correct objective lens is in use for the desired magnification.

Use a lint-free cloth and a glass cleaner or distilled water to gently wipe the surface. Ensure hands are clean before handling.

Ensure the specimen preparation is not too wet. A small drop of mounting medium is usually sufficient. Press gently on the cover glass if needed.
