Microscope Slides (50 pk)

The specimen is usually placed on the slide, and a cover slip is placed over it to protect the specimen and keep it in place. Key Features: Material: the microscope slides are made from glass Size: the standard size of the microscope slide is typically 75 mm x 25 mm (3 inches x 1 inch). Thickness: slides are 0.9–1.1 mm making them ideal for most biological work, as they allow light to pass through the sample more easily. Coating: the slides come with a special adhesive or coating (e.g., charged slides) that helps biological specimens adhere better to the surface of the slide.
