Most good research microscopes are set up to use 1.0 coverslips. You will
achieve much better resolution using them.

Hello Histonetters,

I have another question of the day to pose:

Is there a reason, other than cost, why your lab would
prefer 1.0 thickness coverglass over 1.5 thickness?

What is the reason your lab chooses what it currently
uses?

How about your Pathologists'?

PS- If you use tape, are you considering switching
back to glass?
