Bacteria
Bacteria (Product Code: SCL465/0145) is a microscope slide of bacteria used to introduce students to prokaryotic cells, the smallest living cells they meet in school and college biology courses. Teachers show it before learners make their own smears, and the specimen is carried on a clear borosilicate glass slide supplied in a white, rectangular plastic box. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, for institutions building up their microbiology lab equipment.

What Is the Bacteria Slide Used For?
Bacteria are so small that they only become clear at the highest magnification of a compound microscope, normally with an oil-immersion objective. Teachers use a slide like this to show students what to expect before they try making and staining their own smears, and to discuss the basic bacterial shapes: rounded cocci, rod-shaped bacilli and spiral forms. It also anchors the lesson on how prokaryotic cells differ from plant and animal cells, with no true nucleus and no membrane-bound organelles.
If immersion oil is used, wipe it off the glass with lens tissue straight after viewing and return the slide to its box. The slide is a practical part of a microbiology lab setup, where students progress from observing reference material to culturing and staining samples themselves.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Bacteria the slide previously listed as Bacetria?
Yes. The Bacteria slide was previously listed under the misspelling Bacetria; the product code SCL465/0145 and the item are unchanged. It is a bacteria specimen on a clear borosilicate glass slide, supplied in a white rectangular plastic box.
Which bacteria and which stain are on the slide?
The listing for the Bacteria slide does not name the organisms or the staining method. Please contact us through the contact page if your syllabus needs a particular type, such as Gram-positive and Gram-negative examples, before placing the order.
What magnification is needed?
Bacteria are best seen with an oil-immersion objective on a compound microscope, since lower powers show little more than tiny dots. Plan to view the Bacteria slide at the highest magnification your microscopes offer, after focusing on low power first.
How do I clean immersion oil off the slide?
Wipe the Bacteria slide gently with lens tissue straight after viewing, moving in one direction, and do not soak it in solvent. Return it to its plastic box once clean so the glass stays free of dust and scratches.
Who supplies the Bacteria slide?
The Bacteria slide is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India. The company can quote it with microscopes, methylene blue and safranine stains, and other specimen slides for a complete microbiology lesson.
Can you supply several slides for a class or for export?
Yes. The Bacteria slide can be quoted in class quantities for schools, colleges and distributors in India and international markets. Send the quantity and destination through the contact page, and we will prepare a quotation.
