This part of ISO 8255 specifies requirements for dimensional tolerances, thickness and optical properties for microscope cover glasses used for transmitted light microscopy in the visible spectral range.
NOTE — This part of ISO 8255 does not cover requirements for suitability for fluorescence microscopy.
note: 1) The visible spectral range is defined as being the range from 400 to 760 nm.
