Overview
MatTek glass bottom dishes give researchers, students, and engineers vivid microscopic images while combining the practicality of standard-size 35 mm and 50 mm disposable plastic Petri dishes with the optical quality of glass.
Dish types

Microwell diameter
Source: MatTek
A 14 mm glass microwell is adequate for the majority of applications. Select a microwell with a diameter of 10 mm if the application is cell-limited or to reduce the number of media or reagents used.
Glass thickness
Source: MatTek
The ideal coverslip thickness for the majority of applications is No. 1.5, particularly when using high numerical aperture objectives to improve image quality. For thicker specimens, the No. 0 coverslip offers the longest working distance.
