What are properties of the glass used in the glass bottom dishes? What are the thicknesses of the different coverslips used in the glass bottom dishes?

MatTek uses the highest quality, borosilicate German glass coverslips in its glass bottom dishes. The coverslip properties are as follows: 1. Highest hydrolytic resistance (hydrolytic class 1). 2. Excellent resistance to chemicals. 3. Emission of alkali approximately 15 to 24 µg Na2O/g glass. 4. Excellent properties for fluorescent microscopy. 5. Incident ultraviolet rays with wavelengths longer than 320 nm do not cause fluorescence. 6. Mercury lines at 334 and 365 nm do not create auto-fluorescence. (Note: For mercury illumination, filter out the mercury lines with wavelengths shorter than 313 nm to obtain best possible results.) 7.
