Customer Ratings:

If you're like me, ordering slides for a Microbiology class and you have no idea what you want/need go ahead and spend the extra two dollars needed to buy these slides. Initially I ordered the blank slides (no frosted edges) because my professor didn't specify a type and I like saving money (even $2). Without the frost I could not easily mark my slides, which is especially annoying if you're doing a million slides that all seem to look the same and/or involve oil/stains making my permanent marker/wax pencil labels ineffective. Even if you don't need to label the slide, the frosted edges help you know which side faces up.

So, I finally broke down and ordered a second set of slides (this set) and I am so glad I got classy and ordered these ones. The frost is especially nice, better than the slides everyone bought from the school bookstore and some others from Amazon. When I use a regular pencil to label these slides most of my stains don't even temporarily cover the label I've written. To be more specific when doing a gram stain with stain actively soaking the slide, the stain moves around my handwritten label on the frost allowing me to always see the label.

Bottomlime: not all people need frosted edges but I'd recommend you err on the side of caution (especially if you're taking microbiology).

Disclaimer: The packaging appears to have been changed. My packages says all of the same information, the design is just different.

Just to get this clear. THESE ARE NOT THE FROSTED TIPS SLIDES. The box of regular and frosted tips look nearly identical except for the code number. This slide box has the code of M3504-P The frosted ones have M3504-1F. Packaging came in a box with no bubble wrap or anything. After all it is a fragile item shouldn't they put some packaging material? But lucky I did not have any broken slides. I did how ever on another brand of microscope slides which only used a bubble wrap envelope. But everything seem to be good quality for the price you pay.

I needed these microscope slides for my microbiology lab. The slides are perfect and I received them in only a few days after ordering them. They look just like the ones the professor uses.

These slides were perfect, nice and clean. I use them for Live Blood Analysis. I've used slides that cost $20/liner and they did the same job these did.
