Educational Prepared Slide Specimen Lineup

Each set contains prepared glass slide specimens supplied in a paulownia or plastic storage box. The lineup covers frequently used educational samples for biological microscopy, from basic plant and animal structures to microorganisms, pollen and physiological tissue specimens.

Plant & Animal Sets

Basic 10- and 20-type sets for comparing plant structures, insect parts and animal tissue samples.

Microbiology Sets

Prepared slides for microorganisms, plankton and bacteria used in introductory biological observation.

Tissue & Pollen Sets

Specialized sets for pollen observation and physiological tissue study.
