MUHWA Microscope Slide and Cover Glass Combo Set — 50 Blank Slides + 100 Square Coverslips for Complete Specimen Preparation
MUHWA microscope slide and cover glass combo set provides everything needed for routine microscope specimen preparation in one package: 50 blank plain glass microscope slides (25x75mm, 1.0-1.2mm thickness) and 100 square glass cover slips (22x22mm, No.1 thickness, 0.13-0.17mm). Both slides and coverslips are pre-cleaned and ready to use straight from the box. The slides feature smooth ground edges for safe handling, while the coverslips provide a crystal-clear optical window for high-resolution observation. This economical combo pack is the perfect starter kit for teaching laboratories, student microscopy projects, veterinary clinics, and research labs.
Key Features
- 50 Blank Glass Slides (25x75mm) — Standard 1x3 inch format with ground edges. 1.0-1.2mm thickness provides rigidity and universal stage clip compatibility.
- 100 Square Cover Glasses (22x22mm) — No.1 thickness (0.13-0.17mm) optimized for standard objectives. Square format covers the central specimen area completely.
- Pre-Cleaned and Ready to Use — Multi-stage cleaning removes manufacturing residues, oils, and particulates. Use straight from the box for routine applications.
- Economical Combo Pack — One purchase provides both slides and coverslips in matched quantities. Ideal for stocking new teaching labs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do these slides have frosted ends?
A: These are plain glass slides without a frosted end. For labeling, use adhesive slide labels, a diamond scribe, or permanent marker. Frosted-end slides are available separately.
Q: What is No.1 vs No.1.5 cover glass thickness?
A: No.1 (0.13-0.17mm) is standard for routine microscopy with 10x and 40x objectives. No.1.5 (0.16-0.19mm) is optimized for high-NA oil immersion objectives (60x, 100x). For teaching and general use, No.1 is ideal.
Q: Are these suitable for fluorescence microscopy?
A: These are soda-lime glass with moderate autofluorescence. Acceptable for routine fluorescence with bright fluorophores (FITC, TRITC). For quantitative or low-light fluorescence, use borosilicate or quartz coverslips.
Q: How should I store unused slides and coverslips?
A: Store in original boxes in a dry, dust-free environment. Keep coverslip boxes flat. Glass slides and coverslips have an indefinite shelf life under proper storage.
