Lama 1 (Product Code: SCL305/053) is a clear, rectangular glass slide with ground edges, used as the base for mounting specimens for microscope observation in school, college and teaching laboratories. It measures 24 mm x 60 mm and is chemical resistant, so it tolerates the stains and mounting fluids handled in routine slide preparation for cell biology equipment in India. Lama 1 is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Lama 1 carries the specimen in almost every basic microscopy exercise: a cheek-cell smear stained with methylene blue, a thin slice of potato showing starch grains, a drop of hay infusion with moving protozoa, or a leaf peel showing stomata. The clear glass lets light from the microscope pass straight through, while the ground edges are kinder to fingers than raw-cut glass.
At 24 mm wide, the slide takes a small square cover slip, such as Lamela 1, with a margin on each side, and its 60 mm length leaves room at one end for a pencil or marker label. Clean each slide with water and a lint-free cloth before use, hold it by the edges, and check that it sits securely under your microscope's stage clips.
Lama 1 slides are sourced and supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the Ambala, Haryana company that trades as ScienceLab. Alongside its own apparatus, the company provides microscopy consumables like these so schools, colleges and institutions in India and international markets can order a complete practical setup from one source. More about us is on the company profile.

What size is the Lama 1 glass slide?
The Lama 1 glass slide (SCL305/053) measures 24 mm x 60 mm and is rectangular with ground edges. Check that this size suits your microscope stage and slide storage before ordering, since many labs also use larger slide formats such as Lama.
How is Lama 1 different from Lama?
Lama 1 is a 24 mm x 60 mm ground-edge glass slide, while the separate Lama listing is a larger slide format. Both are clear and rectangular; choose Lama 1 when you specifically need the shorter, narrower format.
Can Lama 1 slides be used with stains and alcohol?
Yes. Lama 1 slides are chemical resistant, so they can be used with the stains, alcohols and mounting fluids commonly handled in school and college microscopy. Rinse them after use if you intend to reuse them for temporary mounts.
Are cover slips included with Lama 1?
Lama 1 is listed as glass slides only. Cover slips are a separate item, for example the square Lamela 1, which fits within the 24 mm width of the slide. Add both to one enquiry if you need them together.
