Fused silica microscope slides

Short Description:

Fused silica microscope slides, also known as quartz microscope slides, are specialized glass slides used in microscopy applications. Fused silica is a high-purity form of glass that is made by melting and fusing pure silica (SiO2) at extremely high temperatures. This process results in a material with excellent optical properties, high chemical resistance, and low thermal expansion.

Fused silica microscope slides find application in various microscopy techniques and research areas where their unique properties are beneficial.

Quartz Characteristics

Transparency: Fused silica has a high transparency in the ultraviolet, visible, and infrared regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. This makes it ideal for applications that require imaging across a wide range of wavelengths.

Low Autofluorescence: Fused silica has very low autofluorescence, meaning it emits minimal background fluorescence when exposed to light. This property is crucial for fluorescence microscopy techniques where high sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio are required.

Chemical Resistance: Fused silica is highly resistant to chemical attack, making it suitable for use with a wide range of chemical stains and solvents. It can withstand exposure to acids, bases, and organic solvents without degradation.
