BS 7011-2.2:1998 Consumable accessories for light microscopes. Slides-Specification for materials and quality of finish

Other Titles Current Abstract BS 7011-2.2 is a standard that discusses the specification of slides for consumable accessories for light microscopes. Light microscopes are an invaluable analytical tool that has the potential to allow scientific investigators to view objects at 1000 times their original size. BS 7011-2.2 specifies requirements and test methods for the quality of material, finish standards, and mode of packaging of silicate microscope slides for use in transmitted light microscopy in the visible spectrum range (400 nm to 760 nm). Who is BS 7011-2.2 – Light microscopes for? BS 7011-2.2 on light microscopes applies to: Manufacturer of light microscopes Quality testing personnel Optical engineer Why should you use BS 7011-2.2 – Light microscopes? Light microscopes are an invaluable analytical tool that has the potential to allow scientific investigators to view objects at 1000 times their original size. Light microscopes magnify and resolve the image of an object that is otherwise invisible to the naked eye. A microscope slide is a thin flat piece of glass, typically 75 by 26 mm (3 by 1 inch) and about 1 mm thick, used to hold objects for examination under a microscope. BS 7011-2.2 provides you with the requirements for the smoothness of edges and perhaps rounding of corners, reducing the problem to technicians of finger cuts or abrasions, which have become increasingly urgent. This helps you especially because of the possibility of infection during research or diagnostic work involving blood or other bodily fluids since these might be contaminated with HIV related to AIDS. BS 7011-2.2 provides you with the requirements of slide specification for the light microscope which contains: Transparency and colour, Durability, Surface quality and inclusions, edge finish, cloudiness and cleanliness, adhesion, and wettability, frosted and residual stress/birefringence. This requirement helps you with the quality of the materials for light microscopes. With BS 7011-2.2 you can be ensured that the products consistently meet and exceed quality assurance targets.
