The listing gives two lengths: 125 mm long, and 130 mm long with handle.

In zoology practicals the needle separates muscle bundles, frees nerves from connective tissue and lifts small ducts so they can be identified. On the microscope bench, two needles used together pull a sample apart in a drop of water or stain, which is how students spread plant tissue, separate anthers or tease out fibres before placing a cover slip.
Work with light, short strokes and let the point do the separating rather than forcing it through tissue. Because the needle is steel, dry it immediately after washing and store it dry; a light wipe before putting it away keeps the point clean for the next class. Labs that buy school biology lab equipment in India usually allow two needles per student for teasing work.
The needle is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which does business as ScienceLab from Ambala in Haryana and supplies teaching institutions with instruments, apparatus and models. The company profile introduces the company in more detail.

Which lengths are available?
The listing states 125 mm long, and 130 mm long with handle. Mention the length you need in your enquiry so the correct version is quoted.
What is the needle made of?
It is made of steel and described as sturdy, so it resists bending during normal teasing work.
How should it be stored to avoid rust?
Dry it straight after washing and keep it in a dry case or drawer, away from damp cloths and specimen fluids.
How is a needle different from a seeker or probe?
A needle has a point for teasing and separating fine tissue. Blunter seekers and probes are preferred for tracing structures without piercing them, and many students keep both.
