Width
24.6 to 26.1 mm
max. 24 mm (recommended: 22 mm)

Corners
45° beveled or 90° cut corners
Edges

Note:
The distance between slide edges and the edges of the mounted
coverslip should be 1-2 mm, and they should be parallel with each
other.
Caution!
Ensure that no part of the mounted coverslip protrudes from the edges
of the slide. Use slides only with completely dried embedding medium.
If not so, the coverslip can be shifted that makes slide loading less
reliable. Not completely dried embedding might also influence the
operation of objectives and other device parts.
Caution!
Do
NOT
scratch any circular marker onto the glass surface of a slide,
use a soft tip pen instead for marking area of interest.
