Prepared Microscope Slide Set – Key Stage 4 Biology (Product Code: SLE/PS/114) is a core set of prepared slides used to cover cells, cell division, tissues, blood and the nervous system in upper-secondary biology practicals. Its six preparations span both plant and animal material, from onion root-tip mitosis and moss leaf cells to a human blood smear and spinal cord. The set is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Key Stage 4 is the curriculum stage covering the last two years of compulsory secondary school, at GCSE level, and this set gathers the slides most often needed for that course in one order. The moss leaf gives a clear first look at plant cells with cell walls and chloroplasts, while the onion root tip lets students find cells in different stages of mitosis and estimate how many are dividing.
On the animal side, the artery and vein section shows why arteries have thicker, more muscular walls, the blood smear lets students tell red cells from the larger white cells, squamous epithelium shows flat lining cells, and the spinal cord section introduces grey and white matter. As a microscope slides set for school biology, it suits both practical lessons and revision sessions before exams.
ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited in Ambala, Haryana, supplies this curriculum slide set to secondary schools, colleges and educational distributors. Schools equipping several labs can request it together with microscopes and models on a single quotation. The ScienceLab company profile gives more background.

Which slides are in the Key Stage 4 Biology set?
The Prepared Microscope Slide Set – Key Stage 4 Biology lists six preparations: Allium root tip showing mitosis (LS), artery and vein (TS), human blood smear, moss leaf for cells, spinal cord (TS) and squamous epithelium.
How many slides of each preparation are in the set?
The Key Stage 4 Biology slide set listing shows the figure 10 for each preparation without explaining it. We confirm the exact number of slides per preparation in your quotation, so please tell us the quantity your classes need when you enquire.
Is the set only for the Key Stage 4 curriculum?
No, the Key Stage 4 Biology slide set covers topics common to most secondary and pre-university biology courses, including mitosis, plant cells, blood, blood vessels, epithelium and the spinal cord, so schools following other syllabuses can use it equally well.
What can students observe on the onion root-tip slide?
On the Key Stage 4 Biology set's Allium root-tip slide, students can find cells at different stages of mitosis, such as condensed chromosomes lining up and separating, and can count dividing cells against non-dividing ones to discuss how fast the root grows.
