High-Transmission Optical Glass & Quartz Plates
Plate and substrate options for microscopy, optical experiments, fluorescence measurements, sample support and research assemblies. The range includes glass plates, non-fluorescent quartz plates and single-crystal silicon wafers in multiple rectangular and circular sizes.
Product Overview
This range includes transparent and functional laboratory plates for sample support, observation windows, optical-path accessories, substrate assemblies and analytical experiments.
Options cover standard microscope slide dimensions, larger glass plates, circular and square quartz plates, and single-crystal silicon wafers.
The 0.17 mm glass plate suits inverted microscopy applications with specific working-distance and imaging-path requirements. Non-fluorescent quartz plates suit experiments concerned with fluorescence background and UV transmission. Single-crystal silicon wafers support specific substrate, calibration and materials research applications.
Confirm the material, length and width or diameter, thickness, instrument fixture space, spectral range, surface condition and experimental medium. Validate optical and chemical suitability under the actual operating conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is 0.17 mm glass suitable for inverted microscopy?
A thin support plate can match the working distance and correction conditions of certain inverted microscope objectives. Confirm suitability against the specific objective and equipment requirements.
Does non-fluorescent quartz have absolutely no fluorescence?
“Non-fluorescent” describes material characteristics suited to low-background applications. Actual background depends on wavelength, impurities, cleanliness and instrument sensitivity. Validate performance before precision experiments.
How should I choose between circular and square plates?
Select according to fixture shape, effective optical aperture, sample coverage and assembly space. When sizes are similar, prioritize compatibility with the existing mounting arrangement.
Can I cut or drill these plates myself?
Glass, quartz and single-crystal silicon are brittle materials. Processing may cause chipped edges, cracks or stress. Use professional processing equipment and appropriate safety protection.
