My µ-Slides/µ-Dishes show scratches on the bottom. Where do these come from and how can I prevent them?

The ibidi Polymer Coverslip is sensitive to mechanical scratching. If you do not use extra caution when placing the ibidi µ-Slide/µ-Dish directly onto the bench or inside the incubator, it is likely to be harmed. As a result, small scratches may be visible under the microscope. To avoid this effect, we recommend protecting the bottom material by using a µ-Slide Rack or µ-Dish Rack, for example. This solution also allows for convenient handling of up to eight µ-Slides or six µ-Dishes at once, respectively.
