Description
Bluestar Micro Slides are plain glass slides intended for microscopic analysis. They are suitable for use in medical labs, research facilities, and educational institutions for preparing specimens like tissue samples and blood smears for examination. Manufactured from optically flat glass sheets, these slides offer clarity and a uniform surface for various applications, including pathology and medical diagnostics. The standard size is typically 75mm x 25mm, and they come in a packet of 50.
Optically Flat Glass: Manufactured from carefully selected, optically flat glass sheets to provide exceptional clarity and uniformity for microscopic analysis.
Standard Dimensions: The slides are precisely cut to standard dimensions, commonly 75mm x 25mm, ensuring compatibility with most standard microscope stages.
Ground Edges: Features precisely ground edges and a smooth surface, making them suitable for a variety of applications from biology studies to pathology.
Versatile Use: These slides are appropriate for a wide range of applications, including preparing tissue samples and blood smears for examination in medical diagnostics.
Convenient Packaging: Typically available in a packet containing 50 slides, which are pre-cleaned and ready for use.
Q: What are Bluestar Micro Slides used for in farm animal healthcare?
A: Bluestar Micro Slides are used to hold biological specimens for examination under a microscope. In veterinary and farm settings, this can include analyzing blood smears, fecal samples for parasites, skin scrapings, and other bodily fluids to aid in diagnosing conditions in animals.
Q: What are the dimensions and material of these slides?
A: These slides are made from optically flat glass sheets with ground edges. Common sizes include 75mm x 25mm, with various thicknesses such as 1.35mm or 1.45mm, though other sizes may be available.
Q: How many slides are included in one pack?
A: Standard packing for Bluestar Micro Slides is 50 slides per packet.
Q: Are these slides reusable?
A: While constructed from durable and scratch-resistant glass, which allows for repeated use in some laboratory applications, it is crucial to follow proper cleaning and sterilization protocols. For diagnostic purposes, using a fresh slide for each sample is often recommended to prevent cross-contamination and misdiagnosis.
Q: How should specimens be prepared on these slides for veterinary analysis?
A: Specimens should be spread thinly in a monolayer to ensure clear viewing. Depending on the sample type (e.g., blood, fluids, aspirates), different preparation techniques like the wedge or squash method may be used. It is advisable to consult a veterinary professional for specific sample preparation guidelines.
