Applications and Experiments for the Cover Glass
Despite its name, this item is a cover glass rather than a microscope slide: each 22 x 22 mm square is laid over a specimen on a slide to flatten it and keep it covered. The 0.17 mm thickness and polished, scratch-free surface give a clear layer for viewing under the objective.
- DMLT and BMLT practicals: covering wet mounts, smears and urine sediment preparations for examination.
- School and B.Sc. biology: preparing temporary mounts of cells and tissues for the microscope.
- Slide handling routines: labelling slides with a Diamond Marker, drying stained slides on a Slide Drying Rack and keeping finished slides in a Storage Box, 100 Slides.
Cover glasses are thin and break easily; pick them up by the edges, and put broken pieces in a sharps container.
Standard Scope of Supply
Each unit of the Cover Glass Slide is one box of 100 colourless glass slide covers, 22 x 22 mm and 0.17 mm thick, packed fibre-free. Microscope slides are a separate item; slides, staining racks or storage boxes can be added to the quotation along with the number of boxes required.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Price requests can be for a single box or for the boxes a microscopy laboratory uses over a term. The quotation states the packing, delivery time and price for that quantity, and glass slides, slide racks or storage boxes can be priced in the same quotation.
Science Lab Supplies has an Importer-Exporter Code and can ship to buyers in Rwanda, South Africa, Qatar, Sri Lanka, Vietnam and Malaysia. Request cover glass prices on the contact page, place boxes in the enquiry cart, or check the lab tender page if the order is part of a tender.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a microscope slide or a cover glass?
It is a cover glass. Each 22 x 22 mm, 0.17 mm thick square is placed over the specimen on a microscope slide. Glass slides themselves are a separate item in the range.
How many cover glasses are in a box?
Each box holds 100 slide covers. They are washed, polished and packed fibre-free, so they can go straight onto prepared slides without further cleaning in routine work.
Are other cover glass sizes available?
Yes. The range also includes 24 x 24 mm cover glasses packed 150 to a box, and 22 x 22 mm cover slips in boxes of about 100 pieces (10 g), shown in the list below.

From its base in Ambala, India, Science Lab Supplies quotes these cover glasses by the box or in bulk, and can add slides and other clinical laboratory equipment to the same order.
