Plain Slides Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Plain Slides (Product Code: SCL1462/022) are flat, clear glass microscope slides measuring 75 x 25 mm and 1.2 mm thick, used to carry temporary mounts, smears and stained sections for viewing under a compound microscope. Their ground edges make them safer for students to handle and clean, and the chemical-resistant glass takes routine stains. They are supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, to schools building a microscope slides set for practicals.

Specifications

What Are Plain Microscope Slides Used For?

Plain slides carry onion-peel and cheek-cell preparations, leaf epidermal peels that show stomata, thin hand-cut sections of stem and root, and blood or bacterial smears. The chemical-resistant glass is unaffected by stains such as safranin, methylene blue and iodine, or by the alcohol used for cleaning and fixing, which makes them the basic consumable in any temporary slides biology kit.

Wipe each slide with alcohol before making a smear so the film spreads evenly, hold slides by their ground edges, and label one end with a marker so that preparations are not mixed up. The 75 x 25 mm format sits securely under the stage clips of common school and college microscopes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size are the Plain Slides?
The Plain Slides measure 75 x 25 mm with a thickness of 1.2 mm. This is a standard format that fits the stage clips and slide holders of common school and college microscopes, so no special accessories are needed to use them.

Why do the ground edges of the Plain Slides matter?
The ground edges of the Plain Slides remove the sharp cut edge of the glass, which reduces the risk of cuts when students handle, clean and stack slides during a busy practical and makes them easier to pick up from a flat bench.

Are the Plain Slides suitable for staining?
Yes. The Plain Slides are made of chemical-resistant glass, so routine biological stains such as safranin, methylene blue and iodine, and the alcohol used to clean and fix smears, do not affect the surface.
