Review of CapitolBrand Glass Microscope Cover Slips

Customer Ratings:

Not quite up to the standard of consistency, clarity, and strength that I get from some other brands, but there are very few applications where these differences would be at all important. For the money and the quick availability, these are a solid bargain.

I used these for doing darkfield microscopy. I found that some coverslips caused an increase of light reflection causing the dark field to be so bright I could hardly see anything. Some were fine. This must mean that they are not all uniform in thickness. I had not experience this with any over coverslips I've tried. They would probably be just fine for brightfield microscopy though.

Best Deals for CapitolBrand Glass Microscope Cover Slips

Just like the less expensive slides, contains some cracks or imperfections and may contain some broken units, but for the price I will buy again...the cracks aren't confusing because they aren't moving or alive, so they obviously aren't a target for my microscopy. I would buy from them when the need arises. Good enough product for what I use it for which is nothing hugely scientific. Pros may not appreciate this product or the slides I reviewed, but I'm scoping for fun and entertainment so they are acceptable to me. Good company.

Honest reviews on CapitolBrand Glass Microscope Cover Slips

Sometimes you get a piece with a scratch or lines or material anomalies but overall when I view unicellular organisms from pond water, these covers work really well.

These were appropriately-priced and the sizing and quality were acceptable.

But they might have been better packed:

No "caution: glass" label;

Insufficient padding inside the box;

Top 3 coverslips in the first box I opened were (not amazingly) broken (although the rest in this container seem to be OK).

I assume this applies to other boxes in the shipment -I ordered 7 so I could get free Supersaver shipping.
