Glass Microscope Slides
Product Code : SCL-CL-11930
Glass Microscope Slides (SKU SCL-CL-11930) are flat, transparent glass plates used as the mounting platform that holds a specimen under a microscope. A drop of sample, a section or a smear is placed on the slide, covered with a cover glass and examined on the stage. The slides serve school biology, college practicals and routine laboratory microscopy. Science Lab Supplies packs and quotes the boxes in Ambala, India for schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors.
Specifications
The table lists each property of these plain glass slides on its own line. In short, they are clear, flat glass plates packed 150 to a box, heat resistant and chemical resistant, so they tolerate gentle warming during fixing and contact with common stains and mounting reagents used in slide preparation.

Applications and Experiments for Glass Microscope Slides
Plain glass slides carry temporary wet mounts in school practicals, stained smears and sections in college labs, and samples for routine checks. With 150 in a box, one pack can supply several groups across a series of practicals, and the heat and chemical resistance suits both fixing and staining steps.
- NCERT Class 9 biology: temporary mounts of onion peel and human cheek cells, with a drop of water or stain added from a glass Dropper.
- Class 11–12 biology: preparing slides of stomata, pollen grains and root-tip squashes.
- B.Sc. botany, zoology and microbiology: stained smears and hand-cut sections, using dyes from the Stains and Reagents for Microscopy set.
- Nursing and paramedical training labs: practising smear preparation and staining technique.
Hold slides by the edges to avoid fingerprints, handle broken glass with care, and keep finished mounts in a Wooden Microscope Slide Box; used slides with biological material should be disinfected before washing or disposal.
Standard Scope of Supply
One pack contains 150 clear glass microscope slides in a box. Matching cover glasses, stains and mounting media can be quoted alongside on request, so that each slide can be covered and finished after the specimen is mounted and examined.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many slides are in one box?
Each box holds 150 clear glass microscope slides, a convenient quantity for a class carrying out several practicals in which every student prepares and examines their own temporary mounts.
Can the slides be heated or stained?
Yes. The glass is heat resistant and chemical resistant, so gentle heat fixing of smears and contact with common laboratory stains and mounting reagents are suitable uses for these slides.
Who supplies these microscope slides?
Boxes of these slides are dispatched by Science Lab Supplies from Ambala, India, and can be priced on their own or bundled with microscopes, cover glasses and stains on a single quotation.
Which cover glasses go with these slides?
The 24 x 24 mm Cover Glasses, also packed 150 to a box, can be added to the same quotation, so each slide in the box can be paired with its own cover glass.
