Cover slips 18 x 18 mm, 0.13–0.17 mm – Euromex (PB.5165)

Cover slips 18 x 18 mm offer a compact solution for general microscopy, crafted to protect specimens and maintain consistent focal distance across routine and educational applications

• Uniform 18 x 18 mm dimensions
• Thickness 0.13–0.17 mm for standard covers
• Clear optical glass, low distortion
• Packaged for laboratory use, 100 per pack

Consistent slide preparation with precise cover glass dimensions

Uniform 18 x 18 mm dimensions and a controlled 0.13–0.17 mm thickness ensure stable specimen mounting and repeatable focusing in everyday microscopy. Consistency in the physical geometry reduces time spent adjusting focus between slides, which directly supports efficient sample throughput in teaching labs and diagnostic routines. The SKU PB.5165 identifies this specific packaging and specification for easy reordering and inventory control.

Optical clarity that supports accurate observation and documentation

A cover glass with low distortion preserves the specimen's appearance under magnification and reduces optical artefacts that can affect image capture. The thin working thickness keeps the specimen close to the objective’s focal plane, improving resolution with high‑power objectives and enabling reliable imaging with common camera setups. For users new to microscopy, a brief note: the stated thickness range refers to the glass depth and influences cover slip compatibility with certain objectives and immersion media.

Packaging and handling designed for laboratory workflow

Supplied as a laboratory pack, these cover slips are arranged to simplify slide preparation and storage. Stable packaging minimises breakage during handling and reduces downtime caused by damaged glassware. For routine workflows, lab technicians benefit from uniform consumables that support predictable sample preparation times and reduce the need for repeated slide remakes — a pragmatic benefit for both education and light research environments.
