Lama Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India

Lama (Product Code: SCL131/1.14) is a clear glass microscope slide measuring 25.4 mm x 76.2 mm, rectangular, chemical resistant and made with ground edges. It is the flat base on which specimens are mounted for viewing under a compound microscope, whether a drop of pond water, an onion epidermis peel or a stained smear. Biology and microbiology labs use slides like this every practical session, and it is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, alongside the rest of its lab glassware for buyers seeking a lab glassware supplier in India.

Specifications

Typical Use

For a temporary wet mount, students place a thin specimen in the centre of the slide, add a drop of water or stain, and lower a cover slip over it before viewing at low power. The same slides are used for blood or bacterial smears that are air-dried and stained, and for pollen, yeast or cheek-cell preparations in cell-biology lessons. Because they are chemical resistant, they tolerate the stains, alcohols and mounting fluids commonly handled in school and college labs, and they form part of any temporary slides biology kit a department puts together.

The ground edges make the slides safer to handle than raw-cut glass and less prone to chipping in a slide box. Hold slides by the edges to avoid fingerprints in the viewing area, clean them with water and a lint-free cloth before use, and label one end if several groups share specimens.
