Prepared Microscope Slide Set – Exchange Surfaces and Epithelia (Product Code: SLE/PS/106) is a class set of prepared glass microscope slides used to study epithelial linings and the supporting tissues of gas exchange surfaces in biology practicals. It provides 10 slides each of ciliated epithelium, squamous epithelium, loose connective tissue, lung cartilage and hyaline cartilage, enough for groups to work on the same tissue at once. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Exchange surfaces depend on thin linings and firm support, and this set lets students examine both. Squamous epithelium shows the flattened cells that keep diffusion distances short, while ciliated epithelium shows the hair-like cilia that sweep mucus along the airways. Loose connective tissue shows the packing layer that sits beneath such linings.
The lung cartilage and hyaline cartilage slides explain how the airways are held open, so students can relate structure to function when they draw and label the tissues. Because the set holds 10 of every preparation, a teacher can run one tissue per lesson with the whole class, or rotate the five preparations round stations. It is a practical microscope slide set for school and junior college biology labs preparing students for practical examinations.
ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited in Ambala, Haryana, supplies this class set of epithelium and cartilage slides to schools, colleges and education distributors in India and international markets. We can combine it with other topic sets so a department receives one consolidated quotation. For company details, see our company profile.

What tissues are in the Exchange Surfaces and Epithelia slide set?
The Prepared Microscope Slide Set – Exchange Surfaces and Epithelia contains ciliated epithelium, squamous epithelium, loose connective tissue, lung cartilage and hyaline cartilage, with 10 slides of each preparation.
Is the Exchange Surfaces and Epithelia slide set enough for a whole class?
The Prepared Microscope Slide Set – Exchange Surfaces and Epithelia holds 10 slides of each tissue, so ten students or pairs can examine the same preparation together. Larger classes can order additional sets or rotate the slides between groups.
Why does the Exchange Surfaces and Epithelia set include cartilage?
The Prepared Microscope Slide Set – Exchange Surfaces and Epithelia includes lung and hyaline cartilage because cartilage supports the airways that carry air to the gas exchange surface, letting students connect lining tissues with the structures that keep air passages open.
What magnification is needed for the Exchange Surfaces and Epithelia slides?
The Prepared Microscope Slide Set – Exchange Surfaces and Epithelia is examined with a standard compound microscope; low power finds the tissue, and high power shows cell shape and cilia. We can quote suitable microscopes with the set.
Who supplies the Prepared Microscope Slide Set – Exchange Surfaces and Epithelia?
The Prepared Microscope Slide Set – Exchange Surfaces and Epithelia is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India, to schools, colleges and dealers in India and international markets.
