Quartz Slide 25mm x 25mm x 1mm

This range of quartz slides is made from fused quartz Vitreosil 077®. They are particularly useful for applications where high temperature and UV transparency are needed.

The quartz material used for our Quartz Discs, Quartz Microscope Slides, and Quartz Cover Slips is a high quality, high purity GE124 quartz. This quartz material is well documented and used in many microscopy applications.
