Microscope Cover Glass, #1/#1.5/#2 Thickness, 18×18 to 24×60 mm — 1 oz. Vacuum Packs, 10 Packs/Box
Globe Scientific Microscope Cover Glass delivers clear, low-distortion coverslips for routine brightfield slide preparation, histology and cytology mounting, and wet-mount microscopy. Each vacuum-sealed pack keeps the glass dry and separated, reducing breakage and sticking at the bench. Choose from square and rectangular formats across three optical thicknesses to match your objective working distance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which thickness should I use for oil-immersion objectives?
Most high-NA and oil-immersion objectives are optically corrected for #1.5 glass (roughly 0.16–0.19 mm). Choose the 1415-15 or 1404-15 #1.5 options for confocal and high-resolution imaging; #1 is common for routine brightfield, while #2 offers added durability.
How are these cover slips packaged?
Each pack is a 1 oz. vacuum pack that keeps the glass dry and separated to limit breakage and static cling. Ten packs ship per box (10 oz. total), and the listed price is per box.
Are the cover glasses sterile?
No. These are non-sterile coverslips intended for general slide preparation, histology, and microscopy. For sterile workflows, decontaminate or sterilize per your validated lab protocol before use.
What size and thickness range is available?
Sizes span 18×18 mm squares up to 24×60 mm rectangles. Thickness options include #1, #1.5, and #2 depending on format, letting you match coverage area to your slide and objective.
