Abstract
Abstract A cover film for use in microscopy which has an excellent adhesion with a slide glass and does not cause blocking during storage is obtained by coating a solution of a polymer adhesive having a glass transition temperature of at least 50° C. in an organic solvent on a transparent substrate and evaporating the organic solvent.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
132 words
A cover film for use in microscopy, which comprises a transparent plastic substrate having provided thereon a layer of a polymer adhesive which is a blend of a first polymer adhesive and second polymer adhesive which are different and which are both selected from the group consisting of an acrylic adhesive and an acrylic copolymer of alkyl methacrylate and alkyl acrylate, said first polymer adhesive having a glass transition temperature of at least 80° C. and said second polymer adhesive having a glass transition temperature of 50° C. to less than 80° C. with the weight ratio of the first adhesive to the second adhesive being 7:3 to 5:5 and said polymer adhesive being soluble in any one of xylene, toluene, ethyl acetate, methyl acetate, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone or mixtures thereof.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
