The Principle of the µ-Plate 96 Well Round Glass Bottom
The Coverslip Bottom
The µ-Plate 96 Well Round Glass Bottom comes with a high precision D263 M Schott glass, No 1.5H (170 +/– 5 µm) Glass Coverslip bottom. This bottom is ideally suitable for high-resolution microscopy and special microscopic applications like TIRF or super-resolution.
