Coverslip | Cover Glass (Pack of 10g)

Thin optical-grade glass coverslips that protect the objective lens and hold the specimen flat for sharp, distortion-free viewing.

How it works

1. Place the specimen on a glass slide with a drop of water or stain
2. Lower the coverslip at an angle to avoid air bubbles
3. View under the microscope

What students learn

• Prepare a clean wet mount
• Avoid air bubbles under the coverslip
