Microslide Cells Of Plants (Product Code: SLE/PS/84) is a set of 8 related 35mm images, photographed through a microscope, used to teach plant cell structure in middle and secondary school biology. It moves from onion skin and green leaf cells to a woody stem shown at both 40x and 100x, cells of the anther and lily ovary, a Spirogyra cell and bacteria for comparison. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Onion skin is the standard first plant-cell practical, and seeing a labelled image beforehand helps students recognise the cell wall and nucleus when they mount their own peel. The green leaf cells introduce chloroplasts, while the two woody stem images at 40x and 100x show how raising the magnification narrows the field of view but reveals more detail, a point students often miss.
Cells of the anther and the lily ovary link cell structure to plant reproduction, and the Spirogyra cell shows a simple filamentous alga with its spiral chloroplast. The bacteria image ends the set with a much smaller, simpler cell for contrast. Together they make a compact addition to plant biology lab equipment for schools that want students to prepare before microscope sessions.
This plant-cell Microslide is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the Ambala company that trades as ScienceLab. It is sourced for botany and general science departments together with the matching viewer, plant cell models and glass slide sets, and is available to buyers in India and international markets.

What images are in the Microslide Cells Of Plants?
The Microslide Cells Of Plants contains onion skin cells, green cells of a leaf, cells of a woody stem at 100x and at 40x, cells of the anther, cells of the lily ovary, a Spirogyra cell and bacteria.
Why does the Microslide Cells Of Plants show the woody stem twice?
The Microslide Cells Of Plants shows the same woody stem at 40x and at 100x so students can see how higher magnification shows a smaller area in more detail, which prepares them for switching objectives on a real microscope.
Why is a bacteria image included in the Microslide Cells Of Plants?
The bacteria image in the Microslide Cells Of Plants gives students a contrast: a much smaller cell without the large vacuole and chloroplasts seen in the plant images, which helps them explain what makes a plant cell different.
How is the Microslide Cells Of Plants viewed?
The Microslide Cells Of Plants is viewed through a Microslide Viewer, not a microscope. Its 8 images are already photographed through a microscope and carry arrows and callouts, so students can study them anywhere with light.
Who supplies the Microslide Cells Of Plants?
The Microslide Cells Of Plants is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India, to schools, colleges and distributors in India and international markets.
