Ameba
Ameba (Product Code: SCL392/096) is a prepared microscope slide of an amoeba used to show single-celled protozoan structure in school and college biology practicals. Teachers pick it for lessons on how an organism with no fixed shape moves and feeds, and the coloured specimen is mounted on borosilicate glass. This ready-made slide is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, as part of its range of prepared microscope slides.

What Is the Ameba (Amoeba) Slide Used For?
The slide gives a class a fixed amoeba to study when live pond cultures are unavailable or unreliable. Under low power students first find the irregular cell outline, then switch to a higher objective to look for the nucleus, the granular cytoplasm and the finger-like pseudopodia the organism uses for movement and for engulfing food. Many teachers ask pupils to draw and label the cell, then compare the drawing with a textbook diagram.
As one of the simpler biology teaching aids for a protozoa lesson, it pairs naturally with a ciliate such as Paramecium, letting students see how two single-celled organisms solve the same problems of moving and feeding in different ways. Focus slowly with the fine adjustment at high power so the objective never presses on the glass, and reduce the light slightly, because pale protozoan detail often shows more clearly under dimmer illumination.
Supplier
ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, a company based in Ambala, Haryana. It sources and supplies prepared slides such as this amoeba preparation to schools, colleges and training institutes, and can price the slide together with microscopes and slide storage so a biology department deals with a single supplier. More about the business is on the ScienceLab company profile.
Related Laboratory Equipment
Useful companions for an amoeba practical:
- Biological Microscope — the compound instrument needed to see the protozoan clearly.
- Amoeba Model — a three-dimensional model that helps students connect the flat slide image with real cell structure.
- Parameci — the Paramecium slide from the same series, for comparing ciliate and amoeboid movement.
- Protozoa and Algae Set of 20 — a broader set when the syllabus covers more single-celled organisms.
- Slide Box — keeps slides separated and protected between lessons.
More microscopy supplies are listed in the Laboratory Equipment category and the Prepared Slides range.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Ameba prepared slide show?
The Ameba slide (SCL392/096) carries a coloured amoeba specimen on borosilicate glass. Students use it to locate the irregular cell outline, nucleus, cytoplasm and pseudopodia of this single-celled protozoan; ask us through the contact page if you need further preparation details before ordering.
Is Ameba the same as amoeba?
Yes. Ameba is an alternative spelling of amoeba, and the Ameba prepared slide from ScienceLab carries a specimen of this protozoan. The product name is kept as listed in our catalogue, so quote code SCL392/096 when ordering to avoid any confusion.
Which microscope is needed for the Ameba slide?
A compound biological microscope with low- and high-power objectives is enough for the Ameba slide. Start at low power to locate the specimen, then change to high power for the nucleus and pseudopodia; oil immersion is not normally needed for this protozoan.
How is the Ameba slide packed?
The Ameba slide is listed with a white, rectangular plastic box, and the dimensions given in the listing are 25.4 mm x 76.2 mm. Keeping the slide in its box between lessons protects the glass and the coloured preparation from dust and scratches.
Who supplies the Ameba prepared slide?
The Ameba prepared slide is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India. The company sources prepared slides for educational buyers and can include them in one quotation with microscopes and other biology equipment.
Can the Ameba slide be ordered as a class set?
Yes, the Ameba slide can be ordered in the quantity your practical classes need, whether one per bench or one per student. Send the number of slides and your delivery location through the contact page, and ScienceLab will prepare a quotation.
