Description
The “Cavity Slide, Set of 10 slides” typically features:
Made of high-quality glass with precise dimensions around 75-76 mm in length, 25-26 mm in width, and thickness ranging from about 1.2 to 1.5 mm.
One or more shallow concave depressions (wells or cavities) in the slide surface designed to hold thicker specimens, liquids, or tissue samples that require more depth.
The cavity diameter usually ranges around 15-18 mm with depths approximately 0.2 to 0.8 mm depending on the slide type.
Edges are carefully ground and polished for safety and durability.
The glass is often soda lime optical glass with hydrolytic resistance to maintain clarity during use.
Used in applications like microbiology, hematology (e.g., VDRL tests), and other biological specimen preparations needing containment within the cavity.
Pack includes 10 slides designed for routine laboratory or educational use.
The slide surface around the cavity is usually flat and may be frosted or clear for labeling purposes.
Suitable for samples that cannot be flattened easily or require liquid retention during microscopic observation.
