What Is the Onion Root Tip Mitosis Slide Used For?
The onion root apex is the classic material for teaching mitosis because the growing tip contains many dividing cells. Students scan the preparation to find cells in prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase and compare them with non-dividing interphase cells. The colouring helps the chromosomes stand out from the surrounding cytoplasm.
A good follow-up exercise is to count how many cells are at each stage in one field of view and discuss what the proportions suggest about the length of each phase. Find a dividing region at low power first, then move to a higher objective for chromosome detail.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which stages of mitosis can be seen on this slide?
The Mitosis, Onion Root Apex Cell, Transverse Incision slide is used to find cells in the main stages of mitosis — prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase — alongside interphase cells. The number of clear examples of each stage varies from one field of view to another.
Why is onion root tip used to study mitosis?
Onion root apex tissue, as on the Mitosis, Onion Root Apex Cell, Transverse Incision slide, grows actively, so many cells are dividing at any moment. Onion cells also carry relatively few, large chromosomes, which makes the stages easier for students to recognise.
What is the mitosis slide made of?
The Mitosis, Onion Root Apex Cell, Transverse Incision (SCL429/0114) has a coloured preparation on a borosilicate glass slide and is listed with a white, rectangular plastic box. The stated dimensions are 25.4 mm x 76.2 mm, the common 1 x 3 inch format.
Which microscope is needed for the mitosis slide?
Chromosome detail on the Mitosis, Onion Root Apex Cell, Transverse Incision slide needs a compound microscope with a high-power objective. Locate the actively dividing region at low power first, then change objectives; our Biological Microscope is one option.
Who supplies the onion root mitosis slide?
The Mitosis, Onion Root Apex Cell, Transverse Incision slide is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India, to schools, colleges, laboratories and importers in India and international markets.
