Conjugation of Spirogyra, Whole Body
Conjugation of Spirogyra, Whole Body (Product Code: SCL423/0111) is a prepared microscope slide used to demonstrate sexual reproduction by conjugation in the filamentous green alga Spirogyra during botany and biology practicals. Teachers and students covering algae and plant reproduction use it because the whole-body specimen is coloured and mounted on borosilicate glass. As botany lab equipment for algae lessons, it is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

What Is the Spirogyra Conjugation Slide Used For?
Spirogyra conjugation is the textbook example of sexual reproduction in green algae. In a conjugating whole mount, students generally look for two filaments lying side by side, the tubes that link their cells, and the passage of cell contents from one filament into the other. The coloured preparation helps the spiral chloroplasts and the joined cells stand out against the glass.
Show this slide after students have examined ordinary vegetative filaments, so they can compare the everyday and reproductive stages. Low magnification reveals the ladder-like pairing of filaments, while a higher objective shows what is happening inside individual cells.

Frequently Asked Questions
What stage does the Conjugation of Spirogyra, Whole Body slide show?
The Conjugation of Spirogyra, Whole Body slide shows Spirogyra during conjugation, its sexual reproduction stage, mounted as a whole specimen rather than as a section. Students use it to trace how paired filaments connect and exchange cell contents during reproduction.
Is the Spirogyra specimen coloured?
Yes. The Conjugation of Spirogyra, Whole Body slide is listed as coloured, which gives the filaments and cell contents better contrast under the microscope than an uncoloured mount would. Ask us if you need details of the colouring used.
What does "whole body" mean on this slide?
On the Conjugation of Spirogyra, Whole Body slide, "whole body" means complete filaments are mounted rather than thin sections. Students can therefore see the full length of the connected filaments and the pattern of conjugation along them in one field of view.
What glass and packaging are used?
The Conjugation of Spirogyra, Whole Body (SCL423/0111) uses a borosilicate glass slide and is listed with a white, rectangular plastic box. The stated dimensions are 25.4 mm x 76.2 mm, the usual 1 x 3 inch microscope-slide format.
Can I order it with other algae slides?
Yes. The Conjugation of Spirogyra, Whole Body can be quoted together with the Volvox, Spirogyra and protozoa and algae slides on our site. Send the product codes and quantities through the contact page and we will quote them in one reply.
Who supplies the Spirogyra conjugation slide?
Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, supplies the Conjugation of Spirogyra, Whole Body slide to schools, colleges, laboratories, dealers and importers across India and international markets.
