MICROCROWN Thin Microscope Glass | SCHOTT North America

Exceptional clarity

MICROCROWN up-drawn soda-lime glass has one of the lowest iron contents in the market today.

It has high luminous transmittance and an excellent colorless appearance. MICROCROWN is available as sheet glass in a thickness of 1.0 mm.

Its unique composition makes MICROCROWN an excellent glass for microscope slides where low auto-fluorescence and chemical resistance are required.

Spectral transmittance

Spectral transmittance for MICROCROWN microscopy glass

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 n_e = 1.5251 ± 0.001 is finely adapted to our cover glass for microscopy, D 263^® M Cover Glass. 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 (cf. DIN-ISO 719 - class HGB 3).
