How might I use these?

These are useful when preparing microscope slides, particularly if the sample is wet. Using a cover glass protects the objective lenses of the microscope from contact and can also reduce movement of your specimen, making it easier to view and control.

Take care, they're extremely thin and fragile. Supervision is strongly recommended when using these with children.

20mm x 20mm glass squares

Top tips!

These are almost impossible to see if you drop one! If you do, use a torch to shine light from different angles and it will soon show up as it reflects the light!
