Frequently Asked Questions

What does 1/4 frosted mean?
The 1/4 frosted designation means one end of the slide has a frosted surface covering approximately one quarter of the slide length. This frosted area accepts pencil or marker writing for labeling specimens directly on the slide.

Can I use a regular pen or marker on the frosted end?
Yes, the frosted end accepts both pencil and most permanent markers. For permanent laboratory records, a lab-grade marking pen or pencil is recommended.

What is the difference between these and the plain slides (SKU 217)?
The plain slides (SKU 217) have no frosted area and are used when labeling is not required or when labels are applied separately. These frosted-end slides (SKU 218) allow direct writing on the slide for specimen identification.

How many slides are included?
Each box contains 72 frosted-end microscope slides.
