Earthworm Slide Set of 6
Earthworm Slide Set of 6 (Product Code: SLE/PS/119) is a set of six glass microscope slides used to study the internal anatomy of the earthworm Lumbricus in zoology and biology practicals. Each slide cuts through a different body region, including the head end, the reproductive segments, the crop and the typhlosole, so students can rebuild the worm's body plan section by section. The set is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

What Is the Earthworm Slide Set Used For?
The earthworm is the standard example of a segmented animal, and this set lets a class study it without every student dissecting a specimen. The anterior longitudinal section shows how the mouth, pharynx and front segments are arranged, while the reproductive-region slides, cut both lengthways and across, help students locate the organs that sit in a few specific segments.
The three transverse sections focus on how the worm lives: the setae slide shows the bristles anchored in the body wall that grip the soil during movement, the crop section shows where food is stored, and the typhlosole section reveals the fold that increases the gut's absorbing surface. Used after or instead of a worm dissection kit, the slides make useful zoology lab equipment for comparing tissue layers under the microscope.
Supplier
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which operates as ScienceLab from Ambala, Haryana, supplies this invertebrate slide set to school and college zoology departments and to trade buyers. It can be quoted together with dissection equipment, charts and microscopes so the whole practical arrives on one order. More about the company is on the ScienceLab profile page.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which sections are in the Earthworm Slide Set of 6?
The Earthworm Slide Set of 6 has six Lumbricus slides: anterior region (VLS), reproductive region (LS), reproductive region (TS), a section showing insertion of setae (TS), a section through the crop region (TS) and a section through the typhlosole region (TS).
What is the typhlosole shown on one slide?
The typhlosole in the Earthworm Slide Set of 6 is an inward fold along the upper wall of the earthworm's intestine. It increases the surface area available for absorbing digested food, and the transverse section shows it clearly as a ridge projecting into the gut.
Can these slides replace an earthworm dissection?
The Earthworm Slide Set of 6 can support or partly replace dissection, because it shows internal structures in fixed, repeatable sections. Many teachers still combine the slides with a demonstration dissection or chart so students connect sections with the whole animal.
What microscope do students need for the earthworm slides?
A compound microscope with low and medium objectives suits the Earthworm Slide Set of 6. Begin at low power to see the whole cross-section, including body wall, gut and body cavity, then increase magnification to examine setae or gut lining.
Who supplies the Earthworm Slide Set of 6?
Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India supplies the Earthworm Slide Set of 6 to schools, colleges and resellers, and prepares quotations for customers in India and international markets on request.
