Description
Magna® Microscope Slide, Glass, Plain End, Cut Edges
The Magna® Microscope Slide is a high-clarity glass slide designed for routine microscopic examination in clinical, research, and educational laboratories. As a standard-format microscopic slide with a plain end and cut edges, it supports a wide range of specimen preparation methods including smears, wet mounts, and mounted tissue sections. The plain end provides an uninterrupted surface for labeling by pencil, marker, or printed identifiers applied through laboratory workflows. Cut edges offer a crisp, uniform profile suitable for consistent handling and slide storage.
Intended Use
These glass microscope slides are intended to serve as a specimen carrier for viewing under light microscopy and compatible imaging systems. They are commonly used in histology, cytology, microbiology, hematology, and general laboratory teaching. Slides are suitable for manual preparation as well as use with common slide racks, staining dishes, and slide mailers sized for standard microscope slides.
Key Features
- Plain end for flexible labeling and identification across workflows.
- Cut edges for a clean profile and consistent stacking in slide boxes and racks.
- Glass construction providing optical clarity for routine brightfield microscopy.
- Standard slide format compatible with common microscopes, holders, and staining accessories.
- Versatile specimen compatibility for smears, thin sections, and mounted preparations.
Laboratory Applications
The Magna® Microscope Slide is appropriate for everyday slide-based procedures, including:
- Blood films and body fluid smears
- Microbiological staining and wet mounts
- Histology sections mounted after microtomy
- Cytology preparations and screening slides
- General microscopy training and demonstrations
Handling and Workflow Guidance
For best results, handle slides by the edges to reduce fingerprints and contaminants on the viewing area. Use compatible cover glasses and mounting media as required by the protocol. When heat-fixing or staining, follow laboratory safety procedures and validated methods for the specimen type. Store prepared slides in appropriately sized slide boxes or cabinets to protect surfaces from dust, abrasion, and breakage.
