familiarizing you with the unique images and codes of microscope slides and coverslips, as well as teaching how to package and purchase them.

What is lam?

Lam (glass blade) is a thin and small glass plate in a rectangular or round shape and usually measures 2.5 x 7.5 cm and is about 1 mm thick (generally less than 2 mm). Laboratory slides are usually made of optical glass. These glasses are made of lime alkali or brusilicate. Square lamellae are usually produced with dimensions of 18×18 – 20×20 – 22×22 – 24×24 and 50×24 mm, and round lamellae are usually produced with a diameter of 18mm.

Slides are part of laboratory consumables  . Place the tested sample on the microscope slide; Then they use a slide to keep the sample fixed on the slide. We can also place several tested samples on one slide to save time and consumables.
Other advantages of using a coverslip and isolating the sample are preventing accidental contacts, preventing the contact of the microscope lens with the sample, delaying the oxidation and dehydration of the sample, preventing dust from settling on the sample, and also stabilizing the samples dissolved in the solvent with It is to squeeze them.

The set of “slides, samples and slides” is called a slide . After preparing the slides, the slide is placed under the microscope . After they are secured in place with microscope slide clamps, the sample is viewed under the microscope.

Sometimes, for educational purposes, a collection of plant slides, animal slides, geological slides, and biological slides, etc., are prepared and used in schools, educational centers, and universities.

Below you can get acquainted with the images of microscope slides. This category of consumable laboratory equipment has special and unique codes, which you will learn about in the following.

Code of laboratory slides

The usual form of the blade is the simple blade, which is a simple glass blade and is known in the market as code 7102. Sometimes, the edges of the blade are polished for greater safety, which is known as the grade blade and is known by the code 7101.

Slide codes 7103 and 7104 are for one-hole and two-hole slides. which is used for thick samples, liquid samples and tissue culture samples. Also, one-sided slides – one matte head with code 7105, two sides – one matte head with code 7107 and one colored slide with code 7109 are available in the market for different applications.

Slides suitable for the microscope must be free of any dust, scratches and dry and clean. Also, we should keep the slides and lamellae packages in a dry place to prevent them from getting wet and eventually moldy slides and lamellae.
