What is Microscope glass slide?

Glass slide is a glass piece or a quartz piece on which a biological specimen is placed when observing through the microscope. When preparing sample, the cell or tissue, after

being sliced and treated, is placed on a glass slide, and the cover glass is placed thereon, and then the glass slide is used for observation under the microscope.

Glass slide requires good light transmission, and its surface flat and even. For different application requirements, different glass slides can be selected.

Glass sides are generally made of standard rectangles. The general standard size is about 75x25mm, the conventional thickness is 1mm, and there are also 2mm, 3mm, etc., and

the thickest can be up to 8mm.

Generally, the surface and edge of the glass slide are treated with various forms, such as transparent, frosted, colored frosted, single concave, double concave, and edging etc.

Classified according to materials, glass slides can be divided into common float glass slides and quartz glass slides.

Classified according to cleaning requirements, glass slides can be divided into wash-free slides and non-wash-free slides. According to requirements for use, glass slides can be

divided into microscope glass slide and cell culture glass slides.

Glass slides should be cleaned. Use finger and edge contact as much as possible, avoid direct finger contact with the surface of the slide so as to avoid leaving fingerprints or

smudges on it. If so, after washing with water or alcohol, wipe it off with gauze or tube wiping tissue.
