Cover-slips for an optical microscope and related methods

摘要

A cover-slip suitable for use in examination by an optical microscope. The cover-slip comprises a planar portion of substantially rigid and transparent material and further comprises a tab contiguous with or adjacent to or attached with the planar portion. The tab is divertable from the plane of the planar portion along a predetermined bending region, thereby allowing holding and displacing the cover-slip e.g. when the cover-slip lies on a flat surface.

1. A cover-slip suitable for use in examination by an optical microscope, the cover-slip comprising:
a planar portion of substantially rigid and transparent material; and a tab contiguous with or adjacent to said planar portion and physically associated with said planar portion, said tab being divertable from said plane of said planar portion along a predetermined bending region, said tab being configured to facilitate holding and displacing the cover-slip; further comprising a fracture region between said planar portion and said tab, allowing detaching said tab from said planar portion along said fracture region.
