Technical specifications and usage guidelines for ibidi polymer and glass coverslips compatible with sticky-Slides, including optical properties and…
This document provides instructions and specifications for ibidi Coverslips for sticky-Slides, available in polymer and glass versions. The polymer coverslips (models 10813 and 10814) are temperature stable up to 80°C and can be sterilized with alcohol or UV-light, while the glass coverslips (model 10812) are manufactured from uncoated borosilicate glass and can be autoclaved. Both types are designed for high-end microscopic analysis with uncompromised resolution.
