Wooden Slide Case (Product Code: SLE/M/119) is a storage case used to hold and protect 100 glass microscope slides of 75 x 26 mm in school, college and research laboratories. Its fully lined wooden body gives good shock resistance, and it is fitted with brass clips and an aluminium index cardholder for labelling the collection. The case is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is the Wooden Slide Case Used For?

Prepared slide sets are costly to replace and crack easily when stacked loose in a drawer. A wooden slide case gives each of the 100 slides its own place, so a school or college can store permanent slides by topic, such as plant anatomy, animal tissues or microbiology, and issue them for practicals without handling the whole collection. The lined interior helps when cases are carried between the store room and the lab.

Write a slide index on the card in the aluminium cardholder so students can find and return slides quickly. Store the case flat, so slides lie horizontally and mounted specimens stay in place, and keep it in a dry cupboard. Standard 75 x 26 mm slides fit; check the size of any specialist slides before storing them.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Number of cases needed for your slide collection
• Confirmation that your slides are the 75 x 26 mm size
• Whether prepared slide sets or cover glasses should be quoted with the cases

Microscope Cleaning Kit (Product Code: SLE/M/120) is a set of cleaning tools and consumables used to remove dust, fingerprints and oil from microscope lenses and optics in school, college and research laboratories. The kit contains a brush, an air blower, lens fluid, lint-free lens tissue or paper and cotton swabs, covering both dry and wet cleaning. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Key Details

What Is a Microscope Cleaning Kit Used For?

Dust on an eyepiece, a thumbprint on an objective or dried immersion oil on the oil lens can make a good microscope look faulty. Regular cleaning keeps images sharp and protects the optics of compound and stereo microscopes in school and college labs, where many hands use the same instruments every week.

Work from dry to wet: first blow loose grit away with the air blower, then sweep with the brush so particles cannot scratch the lens when it is wiped. Next, moisten a lens tissue or cotton swab with a little lens fluid and wipe in a spiral from the centre outward, finishing with a dry tissue. Never pour fluid straight onto a lens, and do not dismantle objectives.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Number of kits, for example one per lab or per group of microscopes
• Extra lens tissue packs as refills
• Immersion oil, if your microscopes have oil immersion objectives

Supplier

ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, Ambala, Haryana, supplies this microscope cleaning kit together with microscopes, lens tissue and immersion oil, so a lab can set up a care routine when it buys new instruments.

Lens Tissue (Product Code: SLE/M/121) is a soft, disposable cleaning paper used to wipe camera, spectrometer and microscope lenses in laboratories and classrooms. Each sheet measures 100 x 150 mm and the tissue comes in a pack of 100, a practical quantity for a microscope lab's routine cleaning. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, as a consumable for optics and biology labs.

Specifications

What Is Lens Tissue Used For?

Lens tissue is the everyday wipe for optical glass: microscope eyepieces and objectives in biology labs, camera lenses on imaging setups, and the lenses of a spectrometer in physics practicals. Ordinary paper tissue and clothing can leave fibres or drag grit across coated surfaces, which is why labs keep proper lens tissue beside every microscope bench.

Use each sheet once. Blow off loose dust first, fold a sheet so your fingers stay away from the wiping area, add a drop of lens cleaning fluid if needed, and wipe gently in a spiral from the centre outward. To lift immersion oil from an objective, draw a fresh strip of tissue across the front lens, then finish with a dry sheet.

Supplier

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab from Ambala, Haryana, supplies lens tissue as a consumable alongside its microscopes, cameras and optics equipment. Schools, colleges, research labs, dealers and importers in India and international markets can add packs to larger lab orders. More is on the ScienceLab company profile.

Immersion Oil, 25ml (Product Code: SLE/M/122) is a transparent, high-refractive-index oil used with oil immersion objectives to increase microscope resolution in biology, microbiology and pathology teaching labs. A drop placed between the lens and the specimen increases the numerical aperture of the objective, giving sharper detail at the highest magnification. It is supplied in a 25 ml volume by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is Immersion Oil Used For?

At the highest magnification, light leaving the slide bends sharply as it passes from glass into air, and much of it misses the objective. Filling that air gap with a transparent oil of high refractive index keeps the light path continuous, so the objective gathers more light and resolves finer detail. That is why Gram-stained bacteria, blood cells and chromosome spreads are examined under oil in microbiology lab practicals.

Focus the specimen first with the next lower dry objective, swing it aside, and place one small drop of oil on the cover glass over the area of interest. Rotate the oil immersion objective into the drop, focus with the fine control only, and avoid swinging a dry objective back through the oil. After the session, wipe the oil from the objective and the slide with lens tissue.

Supplier

ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, Ambala, Haryana, which supplies this immersion oil both with its high-power microscopes and as a stand-alone consumable. Schools, colleges, research labs, dealers and importers in India and international markets can add it to microscope and slide orders. Details are on the ScienceLab company profile.

More microscope consumables are in the Microscope category.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Immersion Oil, 25ml used for?
Immersion Oil, 25ml is used with oil immersion objectives to increase microscope resolution. It fills the gap between lens and specimen with a transparent, high-refractive-index oil, which increases the numerical aperture of the objective and sharpens fine detail.

Can Immersion Oil, 25ml be used with any objective?
No. Immersion Oil, 25ml should only be used with objectives made for oil immersion, usually engraved "Oil". If oil reaches a dry objective, clean it off straight away with lens tissue and a little lens fluid before it dries on the front lens.

How much immersion oil is needed per slide?
Only one small drop of Immersion Oil, 25ml is needed for the area being examined, placed on the cover glass before the oil objective is swung in. Too much oil can run onto the stage and condenser, so wipe any excess away.

What is the shelf life of Immersion Oil, 25ml?
Shelf life of Immersion Oil, 25ml depends on the chemical, its grade and storage conditions; ask us for the expiry date of the batch you are quoted. Keep the container tightly closed and away from heat and direct sunlight.

How are objectives cleaned after using immersion oil?
After using Immersion Oil, 25ml, wipe the oil objective gently with lens tissue, then with a tissue moistened with a little lens cleaning fluid if a film remains. Clean slides the same way before returning prepared slides to storage.

Who supplies Immersion Oil, 25ml?

Microscope Slide Cover Forceps (Product Code: SLE/M/123) is a pair of stainless steel forceps used to pick up, place and lower cover glasses and to handle microscope slides when preparing mounts in biology and microbiology labs. They are 120 mm long, with plain, wide tips suited to gripping thin glass by its edge. The forceps are made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Are Cover Glass Forceps Used For?

When students make temporary slides of onion peel, cheek cells or pond water, the cover glass must be lowered at an angle so the liquid spreads without trapping air bubbles. Holding the thin glass with forceps instead of fingers keeps it free of fingerprints and gives far better control over that slow lowering. Wide, plain tips spread the grip along the edge of the glass, which reduces the chance of cracking it.

Rest one edge of the cover glass on the slide beside the drop, support the opposite edge with the forceps, and let it down slowly. The same forceps lift slides from a tray, take cover glasses out of their box and transfer small sections onto a slide. After staining work, rinse them in water and dry them before storage.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Number of pairs, for example one per student or per bench
• Whether cover glasses and microscope slides should be quoted too
• Any dissecting needles or other mounting tools needed for the same practicals

OEM Manufacturer

ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) of these slide cover forceps, which are produced at the company's own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. The company is a registered MSME manufacturer (Udyam UDYAM-HR-01-0003714), and export shipments are handled under Importer-Exporter Code AAECJ8618A (DGFT).

Schools, colleges, laboratories, dealers and importers in India and international markets receive quotations straight from the manufacturer, and repeat orders for class sets are handled by the same team. See the ScienceLab company profile for more.

• Forceps (Tweezers) — general-purpose forceps for dissection work

Explore more accessories in the Microscope category.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size and material are the Microscope Slide Cover Forceps?
Microscope Slide Cover Forceps are made of stainless steel, are 120 mm long and have plain, wide tips. The length keeps fingers clear of the slide, while the wide tips hold a cover glass by its edge.

Why use forceps instead of fingers for cover glasses?
Microscope Slide Cover Forceps keep fingerprints and skin oils off cover glasses and slides, and give steadier control when lowering a cover glass onto a mount. That helps prevent air bubbles under the cover glass and lowers the risk of breaking the thin glass.

Do the Microscope Slide Cover Forceps have serrated tips?
No. Microscope Slide Cover Forceps have plain, wide tips rather than toothed or serrated ones, which suits smooth glass cover slips and slides. For gripping tissue during dissection, forceps with serrated tips are the more usual choice.

Who manufactures the Microscope Slide Cover Forceps?
Microscope Slide Cover Forceps are manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Quotations and repeat orders come directly from the manufacturer.

Attachable Mechanical Stage (Product Code: SLE/M/124) is a microscope accessory used to hold a slide and move it in controlled steps on the stage of a Digital Monocular Microscope in school and college labs. It attaches to the microscope to give students precise slide positioning, and its listed dimensions are 51 x 26 mm. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, as an add-on for digital monocular microscopes.

Key Details

What Is an Attachable Mechanical Stage Used For?

Pushing a slide by hand at high magnification is jerky, and the specimen easily drifts out of view. An attachable mechanical stage holds the slide and moves it with controls, so students can scan a blood smear or trace a root section field by field without losing their place. On a digital monocular microscope, where the class may be watching the image on screen, that steady movement makes demonstrations much easier to follow.

Attach the stage to the microscope, secure the slide in its holder, and use the controls rather than your fingers to move the specimen. Keep the moving parts free of dust and immersion oil, and remove the stage before packing the microscope away if it does not fit the case with the stage in place.

What to Specify When Ordering

• The exact Digital Monocular Microscope model and code it will be fitted to
• Number of stages required
• Whether the microscope itself should be quoted together with the stage

Supplier

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab from Ambala, Haryana, supplies this attachable mechanical stage as an accessory for digital monocular microscopes.

Microtome (Product Code: SLE/M/125) is a hand cylinder microtome used to cut thin, even sections of plant stems, roots and other embedded material for microscope slides in botany and biology practicals. It has a 50 mm diameter cutting table with a wide flat top that guides the sectioning razor and protects the hand, and a 1 mm pitch feed screw. It is made by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), an OEM manufacturer, at its own factory in Ambala, India.

Specifications

What Is a Hand Microtome Used For?

Free-hand sections cut with a razor are often too thick and uneven for students to see cell layers clearly. A hand microtome holds the material in its central well and raises it a little at a time with the feed screw, so each stroke of the razor across the flat table takes a thinner, more uniform slice. As a piece of botany lab equipment, it is the classic tool for transverse sections of dicot and monocot stems, roots and leaves in plant anatomy practicals.

Support soft specimens in an embedding material such as paraffin wax, or in a firm plant tissue like carrot, and fit the block in the 16 mm central well. Turn the milled flange a fraction of a turn, draw a wet razor across the table in one smooth stroke, and float each section in a watch glass of water. Stain the thinnest, most complete sections and mount them on a slide under a cover glass.

What to Specify When Ordering

• Number of microtomes, for example one per student pair
• Confirmation that the 16 mm central well suits your specimens
• Whether watch glasses, slides and cover glasses should be quoted with them

OEM Manufacturer

This hand microtome is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, as an OEM (original equipment manufacturer) at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Because the maker supplies it directly, schools, colleges, dealers and importers in India and international markets get quotations and repeat orders straight from the source, and can ask us about replacement parts. The ScienceLab company profile has more about the company.

• Microscope Glass Slides — for mounting finished sections
• Glass Cover Slips — cover glasses for the mounts
• Microscope Slide Cover Forceps — for lowering cover glasses onto sections

See more in the Microscope category.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size is the Microtome?
The Microtome has a cutting table 50 mm in diameter and a central well 16 mm in diameter to hold the specimen. Its feed screw has a 1 mm pitch with a wide milled flange for fine, gradual advance of the material.

How thin can sections be cut with the Microtome?
Section thickness with the Microtome depends on how far the milled flange is turned before each cut; the 1 mm pitch screw lets material be advanced very gradually. A graduated thickness scale is not listed, so ask us if your syllabus needs a stated figure.

What else is needed to cut sections with the Microtome?
Besides the Microtome, you need a sharp sectioning razor, a supporting or embedding material for soft specimens, water in a watch glass, stain, slides and cover glasses. Tell us which of these you want included in the quotation.

Who manufactures the Microtome?
The Microtome is manufactured by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), the OEM, at its own licensed factory at Saha, Ambala, Haryana, India. Schools, colleges, dealers and importers buy it directly from the manufacturer.

How should the Microtome be maintained?
After use, clean the Microtome of plant sap, wax and water, dry it fully and put a light film of oil on the feed screw thread. Keep the flat cutting table free of nicks so it continues to guide the razor evenly.

Can the Microtome be ordered for a whole class?
Yes. The Microtome can be supplied in class quantities to schools and colleges, and to dealers and importers in India and international markets. Send the number required and the delivery location through the contact page or the enquiry cart.
