Microslide-The Cell Structure (Product Code: SLE/PS/88) is a Microslide of 8 related 35mm images, photographed through a microscope, used to introduce cells and cell size in school biology. It runs from cork at 300x and onion skin at 200x through green leaf, cheek, blood and nerve cells to bacteria at 1500x and a virus at 50,000x, so students see both the variety and the scale of living things. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

The cork image recalls the first cells ever described, the empty walls seen in a thin slice of cork, and makes a natural opening for a lesson on cell theory. Onion skin and green leaf follow with living plant cells, then cheek, blood and nerve cells show how differently animal cells can be shaped.
The magnification printed with each image turns the set into a lesson on scale: cheek and blood cells are shown at 900x, bacteria at 1500x and the virus at 50,000x. Students can rank the subjects by size and discuss why a virus is not usually counted as a cell, which makes this a strong first-lesson resource for any school biology lab.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, known to customers as ScienceLab, supplies Microslide-The Cell Structure from Ambala, Haryana. Science departments often order it with the viewer, a compound microscope and other introductory Microslide titles, and the company handles these orders for schools, colleges and distributors in India and international markets. More background is on the ScienceLab profile page.

What images are in Microslide-The Cell Structure?
Microslide-The Cell Structure contains cork (300x), onion skin (200x), green leaf (300x), cheek cells (900x), blood cells (900x), nerve cells (300x), bacteria (1500x) and a virus (50,000x), each labelled with arrows and callouts.
What magnifications does Microslide-The Cell Structure cover?
Microslide-The Cell Structure covers magnifications from 200x for onion skin up to 50,000x for the virus, with cells such as cheek and blood at 900x and bacteria at 1500x, which helps students compare sizes.
Why does Microslide-The Cell Structure begin with cork?
Microslide-The Cell Structure begins with cork because cork cells were the first cells ever described. Starting there lets teachers introduce the history of cell theory before moving on to living plant and animal cells.
Why is a virus included in Microslide-The Cell Structure?
The virus in Microslide-The Cell Structure gives a contrast with true cells. Seeing it at 50,000x beside bacteria at 1500x helps students grasp how small viruses are and why they are usually not classed as living cells.
How is Microslide-The Cell Structure viewed?
Microslide-The Cell Structure is viewed through a Microslide Viewer. The images were photographed through a microscope, so students can study them in class or at home without preparing slides.
