Correlative Microscopy Coverslips®

Correlative Microscopy Coverslips^® are polyester based reticle films designed to bring together multiple disciplines of microscopic analysis using singular tissue culture sources. In this way, laboratories and research facilities can save time and money in their research endeavors. The Correlative Microscopy Coverslips^® are available in three patterns for different application requirements. All are 22 x 22mm coverslips with a 0.18mm thickness. The 10 x 10 grid of 1mm squares and the 20 x 20 grid of 0.5mm squares are now available on 18mm diameter round coverslips with 0.18mm thickness. These coverslips allow the application of multiple microscopies (light, fluorescence, scanning electron microscopy - SEM, and transmission electron microscopy - TEM) originating from a specific position on a single coverslip.

• Good cell adhesion without poly-L-lysine
• Good cell culture growth
• Easily sterilized - UV or Alcohol
• Stable through a wide temperature range
• Resistant to standard electron microscopy processing chemicals
• Good optical quality and transparency for light microscopy
• Rigid structure - no floating in culture media
