Trays to help to clean, dry and store coverslips (0.17 mm thick) for microscopy.
Designed for 25 coverslips of 12/14/15/16/18/20/21/22/24/25 mm width.
The value on the tray indicates the coverslips width in mm.
The proposed values should fit most of existing sizes up to 25 mm (width or length).
On the picture the 22 mm tray is tested using 22 x 22 mm Menzel-Gläser coverslips, and the 21 mm tray using Marienfeld 21 x 26 mm coverslips. For the square pieces two trays can be used together (2nd picture) to help cleaning, but it is not mandatory. Of course it is not possible to combine 2 trays when the coverslip shape is rectangular.
I added 2.5 mm holes in corners for M3 taping or to be enlarge to 3 mm... Just in case.
Reminder: thermoplastics are not autoclavable!
Use temperate water (<50°C for PLA) for washing.
