Plain Glass Slides

Standard microscope slides are 1" x 3" and are made from glass and are approximately 1mm to 1.2mm thick. The object or specimen to be viewed is placed on the middle of the slide with another much thinner square, circle or rectangle glass (cover slip) placed over the specimen. Slides must be held by the edges because fingerprints on the slide or cover slips will result in difficulty seeing the object of study clearly. This is very critical when viewing a specimen underwater because air bubbles and fingerprints will render it impossible to properly study the specimen. 72 pieces per box.
