MICROCROWN

MICROCROWN for microscopic slides of exceptional clarity

MICROCROWN is a highly transparent crown glass with an extremely low iron content and is characterized by color neutrality. MICROCROWN belongs to the "optical crown glass" family. The outstanding features of this product include:

Virtually free of any color deterioration due to its high transparency and colorlessness Excellent internal glass quality with very few bubbles or inclusions Ultra high spectral transmission Superior cutting and grinding characteristics Very good wettability on both glass surfaces

Spectral transmittance

MICROCROWN is marked by high transmission in the total UV-A spectrum. This is a decisive factor for using MICROCROWN in fluorescence microscopy. Optical Properties: The refractive index of ne = 1.5251 ± 0.001 is finely adapted to our cover glass for microscopy, D 263M. As a result, unwanted reflections are eliminated and high-definition images become possible. Chemical Properties: The excellent chemical properties of MICROCROWN enable prepared slides to be stored and analyzed for longer periods of time. (cf. DIN-ISO 719 - class HGB 3) Availability: Dimensions: Length: 1,560 ± 10 mm / 61.4 ± 0.39 inches Width: 560 ± 10 mm / 22.0 ± 0.39 inches Glass thicknesses: 1.0 ± 0.1 mm / 0.039 ± 0.004 inches 1.2 ± 0.1 mm / 0.047 ± 0.004 inchdes Other dimensions and tolerances are available upon request.
