Basic Plant Anatomy Slide Set (Product Code: SLE/PS/100) is a set of 20 glass microscope slides used to study the internal structure of vascular plants in school and college botany practicals. The prepared microscope slides cover roots, stems, leaves, flowers and seeds of plants such as Vicia, Zea, Lilium, Helianthus and Tilia, so one box supports a whole plant anatomy course. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Label abbreviations: TS = transverse section, LS = longitudinal section, RLS = radial longitudinal section, E = entire (whole mount).
Students use the set under a compound microscope to compare tissues across plant organs. Paired sections such as Zea and Cucurbita stems in both TS and LS show how vascular bundles look when cut across and along, while young and old stems of Tilia and Helianthus reveal secondary growth. The Vicia root apex and young root sections show the growing tip and the arrangement of root tissues.
For reproduction and adaptation topics, the Lilium anther and ovary slides, stigma with pollen tubes and pollen grains cover the flower, the Capsella slide shows an embryo at the mature cotyledon stage, and the marram grass leaf is a classic example of a leaf adapted to dry, windy sites. A slide box keeps the set in order, and the slides serve well as reference material in any botany lab equipment list for practical examinations.
