Plain Diamond® White Glass Microscope Slides

Globe Scientific’s Diamond White Glass plain microscope slides combine optical clarity with a pre-cleaned, ready-to-use surface for microscopy and specimen preparation. Made from chemically pure, low-iron white glass, these 25 × 75 mm slides offer high transparency, very low self-fluorescence and no color distortion.

Choose from two formats: ground edges with 90° corners (1380-10) or 45° beveled edges with clipped corners (1384-10). Both options are 1 mm thick and supplied in protective plastic boxes.

Clear Glass for Confident Observation

The low iron content of Diamond White Glass supports clear specimen viewing without color distortion. Very low self-fluorescence helps minimize background fluorescence contributed by the slide itself.

The glass composition minimizes oxidation to help preserve sample integrity during long-term storage. Its hardness and molecular stability provide a stable surface for laboratory specimen preparation and examination.

Key Features

  • High optical clarity: Chemically pure, low-iron white glass provides superior transparency without color distortion.
  • Very low self-fluorescence: Helps minimize slide-related background during fluorescence microscopy.
  • Pre-cleaned and ready to use: Simplifies preparation before mounting specimens.
  • Two edge and corner options: Select ground edges with 90° corners or 45° beveled edges with clipped corners.
  • Consistent dimensions: Each slide measures 25 × 75 mm with a thickness of 1 mm.
  • Protective packaging: High-quality plastic boxes and double cellophane wrapping help protect slides from moisture and foreign particles.
