Parameci
Parameci (Product Code: SCL394/097) is a prepared microscope slide of Paramecium used to teach the structure of a ciliated protozoan in biology and microbiology classes. School and college students use it to observe the slipper-shaped cell that moves with hair-like cilia, and the coloured preparation sits on a borosilicate glass slide. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, among its microscope slides for school laboratories.

What Is the Paramecium Slide Used For?
Paramecium is a classic organism for introducing cell organelles, because so many of them are visible in one cell. On this slide learners can look for the fringe of cilia around the body, the oral groove that leads food inward, the large macronucleus with its smaller micronucleus, and the food and contractile vacuoles scattered in the cytoplasm. A labelled drawing of these parts is a common practical-record exercise.
In zoology lab work the preparation is often shown straight after an amoeba, so the class can contrast movement by cilia with movement by pseudopodia. Use a moderate objective to see the whole slipper outline first, and only then move to high power for the nuclei; a gentle reduction of the condenser light helps the thin cilia stand out against the background.
Supplier
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, known to customers as ScienceLab, is a supplier based in Ambala in the Indian state of Haryana. Prepared slides like this Paramecium preparation are sourced for educational buyers ranging from single schools to dealers and importers, in India and international markets, and can be combined with the microscopes and apparatus the company offers. Background on the company is available on the ScienceLab profile.
Related Laboratory Equipment
Teachers planning a protozoa practical usually add some of these:
- Ameba — the amoeba slide from the same series, ideal for a side-by-side comparison.
- Series of Microscopic Preparation for Micro Organism — a multi-slide series when a wider range of micro-organisms is needed.
- Monocular Microscope 1000x, LED light — a compound microscope with the high-power objectives this specimen benefits from.
- Microscope Slide Case — organised storage once several protozoa slides are in use.
- Lens Tissue — for wiping slide glass and objectives without scratching.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which structures can students identify on the Parameci slide?
On the Parameci slide students typically look for the cilia, oral groove, macronucleus, micronucleus and vacuoles of Paramecium. How clearly each part shows depends on the microscope and the specimen, so treat the slide as a guide for drawing and labelling practice.
Why is the product called Parameci?
Parameci is the catalogue name of this Paramecium slide and is kept exactly as listed. When you enquire, quote the product code SCL394/097 together with the name so there is no doubt about which prepared slide you want.
What is the Parameci slide made of?
The Parameci slide is borosilicate glass carrying a coloured Paramecium preparation. It is listed with a white, rectangular plastic box, and the dimensions stated in the listing are 25.4 mm x 76.2 mm, which corresponds to 1 x 3 inches.
Can the Parameci slide be compared with the Ameba slide?
Yes. The Parameci and Ameba slides are listed in the same ScienceLab series and are commonly used together, so students can compare movement by cilia with movement by pseudopodia. Both can be included in a single quotation.
Who is the supplier of the Parameci slide?
Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), based in Ambala, Haryana, India, is the supplier of the Parameci slide. It sources prepared slides for schools, colleges, dealers and importers and can quote them alongside microscopes and slide storage.
What should a quotation request for the Parameci slide include?
A quotation request for the Parameci slide should give the product code SCL394/097, the number of slides, any companion slides or microscopes you need, and the delivery location. Send these details through the contact page.
