EMS introduces an alternative to the standard aluminum slide used to visualize live microscopic organisms (both dorsal and ventral sides) using a pair of coverslips. The holders are made from refined plastic and come in two versions:
The single version, which is designed to hold a pair of cover slips, generally of fixed material, often in gel mount. It allows a specimen to be viewed from both sides on a confocal microscope.
The second version is similar to the first, but in place of it being a single plastic holder, two systems are snapped together and hold a coverslip sandwich in place without the need of any glue. This version holds living material between the coverslips, generally in water.
Both are reusable and made from white ABS plastic.

3" x 1" x 0.045"
Well dimensions: 25 mm x 23 mm
Inside opening dimensions: 22 mm x 16 mm
Recommended coverslip: 22 mm x 22 mm
