Columnar Epithelium
Columnar Epithelium (Product Code: SCL447/0170) is a prepared microscope slide of columnar epithelium used to show the tall, column-shaped lining cells of the digestive tract in biology and histology practicals. It lets students link cell shape with absorption and secretion without having to section or stain tissue themselves. The slide is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, for schools, colleges and teacher-training laboratories.

What Is the Columnar Epithelium Slide Used For?
In a tissues practical, students place the slide on the stage, find the lining layer under low power and then move to high power to record the features that define columnar epithelium: cells that are clearly taller than they are wide, oval nuclei lying in a row towards the base of the cells, and a free surface facing the lumen. Depending on the organ the tissue came from, that free surface may show a brush border of microvilli or scattered goblet cells that secrete mucus — useful talking points when linking structure to the absorptive and secretory work of the stomach and intestine lining.
Teachers often pair this slide with a squamous epithelium slide so the class can draw the two side by side and compare cell height, nucleus position and function. As with any cell biology equipment handled by many students, hold the slide by its edges, use the coarse focus only at low power so the objective never presses on the glass, and wipe the surface with lens tissue before returning it to its white plastic box.

Frequently Asked Questions
What exactly is supplied?
The Columnar Epithelium slide is supplied as a prepared slide on clear borosilicate glass, packed in a white rectangular plastic box. The number of slides per box is not listed in the product information, so please confirm the pack quantity through our contact page when you enquire.
Which organ is the tissue taken from?
The source organ and animal for the Columnar Epithelium slide are not stated in its product information. Columnar epithelium is most often studied from the lining of the digestive tract; ask us before ordering if your syllabus calls for a specific source.
Is the section stained?
Stain details for the Columnar Epithelium slide are not specified in the product listing. If your practical depends on a particular stain, contact us for confirmation before placing the order so the right slide can be quoted.
What kind of microscope is needed?
Any compound microscope with low- and high-power objectives suits the Columnar Epithelium slide. The column shape of the cells and the row of basal nuclei are clearest at high power, while low power helps you locate the lining layer first.
Who supplies the Columnar Epithelium slide?
The Columnar Epithelium slide (SCL447/0170) is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd, trading as ScienceLab, from Ambala, Haryana, India. Its GSTIN and LEI are listed in the Supplier section for buyers who need vendor registration details.
How should the slide be cleaned and stored?
Wipe the Columnar Epithelium slide gently with lens tissue, avoid solvents on the mounted area, and keep it flat in its plastic box away from damp and direct sunlight so the tissue stays clear for later classes.
Can schools order it in bulk or for export?
Yes. The Columnar Epithelium slide can be ordered in bulk or for export to international markets; include the product code SCL447/0170, the quantity and the delivery location in your enquiry so that a quotation can be prepared.
