Cavity Glass Slide Collection

Product Code : SCL-MSAC-12206

The Cavity Glass Slide Collection is a specialised microscope slide set used for observing liquid samples, wet mounts, small organisms and slightly thicker specimens under a microscope. It is suitable for schools, colleges, biology laboratories, STEM labs, microscopy workrooms and institutional buyers requiring practical slide accessories.

Product Description

Cavity Glass Slide Collection from Science Lab Supplies is intended for microscopy practicals where a standard flat slide may not provide enough sample space. Each cavity slide has a recessed well that helps hold a small drop of liquid or a thicker specimen during observation.

The supplied product name confirms a cavity glass slide collection, but exact slide count, cavity count, slide dimensions, glass grade, edge finish, cover-slip compatibility and storage packing must be verified before publication. Do not claim borosilicate glass, ground edges, sterile packing or any standard unless supported by the final product specification.

Key Features

• Cavity slide format: recessed slide design for wet mounts and liquid specimens.
• Microscopy-ready use: supports practical viewing under student, compound and biological microscopes.
• Collection size to confirm: total number of cavity slides must be verified before publishing.
• Slide dimensions to confirm: standard or special-size slide format should be checked from the final supply.
• Glass material to confirm: glass type, thickness and edge finish must be verified.
• Classroom value: useful for pond-water observation, live specimen viewing and temporary wet mounts.
• Safe handling focus: designed for supervised laboratory use with standard glass-slide precautions.

How to Use the Cavity Glass Slide Collection

1. Select a clean cavity slide and check that the glass is not cracked.
2. Place a small drop of the liquid sample into the recessed cavity.
3. Add a cover slip only if the practical method requires it.
4. Place the slide gently on the microscope stage.
5. Start with the lowest objective lens and focus slowly.
6. Increase magnification only after the sample is centred.
7. Remove the slide after observation and clean it according to lab instructions.
8. Return dry slides to the storage box or protective packing.

Safety note: Handle cavity slides by the edges. Do not press the cavity area, use cracked glass or leave wet slides in storage.

Care & Maintenance

• Clean used slides with the approved laboratory cleaning method before storage.
• Dry slides completely to prevent stains, residue and microbial growth.
• Store slides in a dust-free slide box or protective case.
• Discard broken or chipped glass according to laboratory glass-waste rules.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Cavity Glass Slide Collection used for?

A Cavity Glass Slide Collection is used for observing liquid samples, wet mounts, small organisms and slightly thicker specimens under a microscope.

How is a cavity slide different from a plain slide?

A cavity slide has a shallow recessed well, while a plain slide has a flat surface. The cavity helps hold liquid samples or specimens that need more depth.

How many slides are included?

The slide count is not confirmed. Add the exact quantity only after checking the final Science Lab Supplies product specification.

Can cavity slides be used in schools?

Yes, cavity slides can be used in authorised school and college laboratories under teacher supervision and standard glass-slide safety rules.

Are cover slips included?

Cover slips are not confirmed as included. Treat them as separate unless the final quotation or product packing confirms a bundled supply.

What microscope is suitable for cavity slides?

A standard student, biological or compound microscope is suitable, subject to the sample type, slide dimensions and required magnification.
