Glass Slides (50 Pieces)

Glass Microscope Slides

Using microscope slides

These glass microscope slides are listed as 50 pieces. A supporting slide provides a surface on which a specimen can be prepared for examination; the preparation method determines what other materials are needed.

Choose the right slides

Slides differ in size, thickness and edge finish. Before ordering, confirm the actual quantity and pack, and check the size, thickness and edge finish against your microscope and intended work. A cover slide may also be needed for a particular preparation, but check the pack rather than assuming what else is included.

Handling and storage

Handle glass carefully and inspect each slide before use. Set damaged pieces aside for appropriate disposal, and keep the remaining supplies clean and protected from dust. Follow the guidance for your equipment and chosen preparation.
