Protozoa and Algae Set of 20 (Product Code: SLE/PS/120) is a set of 20 prepared microscope slides used to study commonly taught protozoa and freshwater algae in biology, microbiology and ecology classes. It includes reproduction stages such as Paramecium fission and conjugation, Spirogyra conjugation and Volvox with daughter colonies, plus the blood parasites Plasmodium and Trypanosoma. The set is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, for microbiology lab equipment buyers in India and international markets.

This set gives a single-celled and simple-organism unit its reference material. The Chlamydomonas, Pandorina and Volvox slides form a neat series from a single cell to a small colony to a large colony with daughter colonies, which helps students discuss how multicellular life may have arisen. Paramecium appears three times, whole, dividing and conjugating, so asexual and sexual reproduction can be compared on the same organism.
The algae slides support ecology and pond-life work, with Spirogyra filaments and conjugation, desmids, diatoms and Nostoc, whose heterocysts are the cells linked with nitrogen fixation. The Plasmodium and Trypanosoma blood smears connect protozoa to human disease topics such as malaria. Because live pond samples vary from week to week, many teachers keep this set as a dependable reference beside fresh material viewed on cavity slides.
ScienceLab is how Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited of Ambala, Haryana, is known to its customers. The company supplies this 20-slide protozoa and algae collection to school biology labs, college microbiology and botany departments, and distributors, and can add microscopes, models and blank slides to the same quotation.

Which organisms are in the Protozoa and Algae Set of 20?
The Protozoa and Algae Set of 20 covers Amoeba, Euglena, Paramecium (whole, fission and conjugating), Vorticella, Foraminifera, Radiolaria, Trypanosoma and Plasmodium, plus Chlamydomonas, Chlorella, Pandorina, Volvox, Cladophora, desmids, diatoms, Spirogyra (two slides) and Nostoc.
Does the set show reproduction in protozoa and algae?
Yes, the Protozoa and Algae Set of 20 includes Paramecium fission and conjugation, Spirogyra conjugation and Volvox with daughter colonies, so students can compare asexual division, sexual exchange and colony formation across several simple organisms.
Are the malaria and Trypanosoma slides blood smears?
Yes, in the Protozoa and Algae Set of 20 both Plasmodium (malaria) and Trypanosoma are prepared in blood smears, so the parasites appear among blood cells. They are teaching slides for biology lessons, not clinical or diagnostic reference material.
What magnification is needed for these slides?
Most organisms in the Protozoa and Algae Set of 20 are visible at medium power, but blood-smear parasites and fine details such as Nostoc heterocysts need a higher objective. A compound microscope with several objectives covers the whole set.
Who supplies the Protozoa and Algae Set of 20?
Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India supplies the Protozoa and Algae Set of 20 to schools, colleges and trade buyers, and provides quotations for orders within India and to international markets.
