Fused quartz microscope slides are thin, polished quartz materials used for their absolute UV transparency in medical, scientific and research applications.

Quartz Microscope slides have many applications for use in UV microscopy and UV confocal microscopy. As with quartz cover slips for chemical microscopy an important equation is that nothing is lost due to the absorption factor.

Fused quartz transparent microscope slides are useful for high temperature experiments due to the thermal and mechanical properties of fused quartz.

For viewing certain samples, black microscope slides are made. Black glass quartz has thermal properties of quartz 055 and is processed with polished surfaces.

UV grade fused silica microscope slides are more suitable when higher transmission is required in the ultraviolet. UV fused silica has equal thermal and mechanical properties to quartz but is generally more expensive.

Fused quartz and fused silica microscope slides are made to stock sizes and custom made.
