Coverslip synonyms

The simple fact is that coverslip thickness is important in quality microscope imaging using objectives of moderate to higher powers.

Thus this figure is not the actual physical depth of the coverslip but one modified by the refractive index of the glass itself.

The immersion liquids in common use are water, glycerine, cedar-wood oil, monobromnaphthalene, &c. Immersion systems in which the embedding liquid, coverslip, immersion-liquid and front lens have equal refractive indices are called " homogeneous immersion systems."
