Cavity Microscope Slides Pack of 10

Quick Answer: The Cavity Microscope Slides Pack of 10 is a set of microscope slides with a recessed well (concavity), used to hold liquid, suspended or thicker specimens for microscopic observation. It suits classroom and laboratory work where a standard flat slide does not provide enough depth.

Product Description

Cavity microscope slides, also known as concavity or depression slides, have a recessed well that holds a droplet of liquid or a specimen too thick for a flat slide. This makes them useful for observing living organisms in a drop of water, hanging-drop preparations, or other wet-mount techniques used in biology and microbiology practicals. This pack contains 10 cavity slides for instructional and laboratory use.

We have not fabricated the exact slide material, cavity count per slide, cavity diameter, cavity depth, overall dimensions or edge finish for this listing where these details are not confirmed in our current product data. If your syllabus or protocol requires specific confirmed dimensions, please confirm with our sales team before ordering.

Care & Maintenance

• Wash slides after use with a mild detergent and rinse thoroughly with clean water before storage.
• Dry slides fully to prevent residue or watermarks forming in the cavity well.
• Store slides flat in a slide box or tray, away from direct sunlight and humidity.
• Handle slides by their edges to reduce the risk of chipping the cavity rim or breaking the glass.
