Human Skin Section Model (Product Code: SLE/A/37) enlarges a block of scalp skin about 70× so that hairs, glands and nerve endings, normally seen only under a microscope, can be pointed out on a solid model. The section is cast in one piece and mounted on a sturdy base, which makes it robust enough for repeated handling in class. Biology, dermatology, cosmetology and nursing teachers use it to explain skin layers and appendages, and schools sourcing from a biology lab equipment supplier in India can order it directly from its manufacturer, Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala.

The model is typically used when introducing the integumentary system. Starting at the surface, students can follow a hair shaft down to its root, locate the sebaceous gland that oils it, find the sweat glands and then identify the sensory receptors that respond to touch, pressure and temperature. Because it is a single piece, there is nothing to lose or reassemble, so it can be passed between groups during a practical.
Cosmetology and trichology courses find the scalp section particularly relevant because it shows hair in its natural setting. In a school or college biology lab it works well next to prepared microscope slides of skin: students view the slide first, then use the model to make sense of the three-dimensional structure behind what they saw under the lens.
The model is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, a company in Ambala, Haryana whose products carry the ScienceLab name and reach schools, colleges and training centres in India and international markets. Our company profile gives an overview of the business.
