They are essential laboratory consumables used in clinical diagnostics, hematology, microbiology, histology, pathology, cytology, parasitology and biological research. Standard microscope slides are commonly approximately 75 × 25 mm (3 × 1 inch) and are manufactured from clear optical glass to provide good specimen visibility during microscopic examination. Depending on the supplied version, microscope slides may have plain or frosted ends, ground or unground edges, and may be supplied pre-cleaned and ready for laboratory use.
