Meiosis Set (Product Code: SCL464/0144) is a set of microscope slides used to teach meiosis, the reduction division that halves the chromosome number and produces gametes or spores, in biology laboratories. Teachers often bring it out straight after a mitosis lesson, and each clear borosilicate glass slide is kept in a white, rectangular plastic box between classes. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, as one of its biology teaching aids for schools and colleges.

Meiosis is harder to picture than mitosis because it involves two successive divisions. With the slides under a compound microscope, students look for the features that set meiosis apart: homologous chromosomes pairing in prophase I, pairs rather than single chromosomes lining up in metaphase I, homologues separating in anaphase I, and a second division that finally leaves four cells. Teachers often use the set straight after a mitosis lesson so that learners can list the differences from what they have just seen.
The slides also work well during revision, viewed through a microscope camera or passed round in small groups. Handle each slide by its edges, avoid pressing on the mounted area, and put it back in the plastic box before the next group arrives so that the set stays complete from year to year.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited trades as ScienceLab and is based in Ambala, Haryana, from where it supplies slides, stains and biology, chemistry and physics apparatus to institutions in India and international markets. Institutions completing vendor registration can use the supplying company's GSTIN 06AAECJ8618A1ZT and Legal Entity Identifier 3358004HRD1JIVXKYX49. Read more on our company profile.

Is the Meiosis Set the product previously listed as Meosis Set?
Yes. The Meiosis Set was previously listed under the spelling Meosis Set; the product code SCL464/0144 and the slides are unchanged. It is a set of borosilicate glass microscope slides on meiosis, the reduction division, kept in a white plastic box.
How is the Meiosis Set different from the Mitosis Set?
The Meiosis Set shows reduction division: two successive divisions giving four cells with half the chromosome number. The Mitosis Set shows a single division giving two identical cells with the full number, so using both lets students compare the processes directly.
Which specimens and how many slides are included?
The listing for the Meiosis Set does not state the specimen source or the slide count. Please contact us through the contact page and we will confirm the current contents before you order, so you can match them to your syllabus.
What materials are used in the Meiosis Set?
The Meiosis Set consists of clear borosilicate glass slides stored in a white, rectangular plastic box. Handle each slide by its edges and return it to the box after viewing so the set stays complete for future classes.
Who supplies the Meiosis Set?
The Meiosis Set is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India. The company quotes it with the Mitosis Set, acetocarmine and microscopes, and it supplies schools, colleges and distributors in India and international markets.
What does an institutional quotation request need?
A quotation request for the Meiosis Set should give your institution name, product code SCL464/0144, the quantity and the delivery address. Vendor registration details for the supplying company are listed in the Supplier section above.
