Microscopy Accessories Kit (Product Code: SCL211/06) is a compact set of hand tools for preparing specimens before they go under the microscope: cutting thin pieces, picking up fragments, teasing tissue apart and measuring what has been collected. It contains two types of scissors, two types of tweezers, a scalpel with an interchangeable blade, two hand-held needles and a ruler, which is what most students need to make their own temporary slides in a biology practical. It is produced by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

In a typical onion-peel or leaf-epidermis practical, students lift a thin layer with the straight-edged tweezers, trim it to size with the thin-tipped scissors and spread it flat with a needle before adding a stain and cover slip. The scalpel handles thin hand sections of stems and roots, and the round-tipped tweezers are gentler on delicate material and safer for younger classes. The ruler helps record specimen size and keep pieces uniform.
Because each tool has a clear job, the kit is a tidy way to issue one set per bench and check everything back in at the end of the lesson. Used with slides and stains, it forms the core of a temporary slides biology kit for school labs. Replace the scalpel blade when it starts to tear rather than cut, handle blades with care, and wash and dry all tools after work with plant sap or preserved tissue.
This kit is offered by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the Ambala, Haryana manufacturer that trades as ScienceLab, as part of a wider line of microscopy and dissection equipment for teaching laboratories. Company background is available on the ScienceLab profile.
