Microscope coverglass, correlative grids
Microscope coverglass, correlative grids, a unique film reticle for use in Correlative Microscopy. Designed specifically to allow identification and location of a particular area of interest under bright-field or fluorescence microscopes and then sectioning for electron microscopy.
G493-01 Coverglass, correlative microscopy grids, 100 squares of 0.1 mm sides, pk/25
G493-05 Coverglass, correlative microscopy grids, 400 squares of 0.5 mm sides, pk/25
G493-10 Coverglass, correlative microscopy grids, 100 squares of 1.0 mm sides, pk/25
All coverslips are 22 x 22 mm and 0.18 mm thickness.
Cat. No. | Pattern code | Number of squares | Surface covered | Unit size of each square | Average number of cells per square unit (eg. HeLa cell) |
G493-01 | CMC34A | 100 | 5x1 mm² | 0.01 mm² | 2-3 |
G493-05 | CMC71 | 400 | 100 mm² | 0.25 mm² | 20-30 |
G493-10 | CMC35 | 100 | 100 mm² | 1 mm² | 40-50 |
Products developed in conjunction with Nacer Benmeradi, PhD of CNRS Toulouse and Delta Microscopies, France.
Reticle film has been thoroughly tested with cell culture
- Good growth of cell culture (equivalent to conventional media)
- Good adhesion to the substrate without cell polylysine
Physical and chemical qualities
- Resistant to normal chemicals used in electron microscopy
- No oxygen retention, compatible resin LR White
- Good optical quality in bright-field and UV fluorescence
- Excellent transparency
- Does not deform at temperatures (positive 100 C and negative liquid N2)
- Rigid, does not float in the middle of culture
- Easy to handle and cut with a knife or micro-punch
- Simple sterilisation using alcohol or UV
- Detaches easily from resin after polymerisation
- Low cost
Applications
Light microscopy, fluorescence, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), high-pressure cryofixation.
