The slide gives a class a fixed amoeba to study when live pond cultures are unavailable or unreliable. Under low power students first find the irregular cell outline, then switch to a higher objective to look for the nucleus, the granular cytoplasm and the finger-like pseudopodia the organism uses for movement and for engulfing food. Many teachers ask pupils to draw and label the cell, then compare the drawing with a textbook diagram.
As one of the simpler biology teaching aids for a protozoa lesson, it pairs naturally with a ciliate such as Paramecium, letting students see how two single-celled organisms solve the same problems of moving and feeding in different ways. Focus slowly with the fine adjustment at high power so the objective never presses on the glass, and reduce the light slightly, because pale protozoan detail often shows more clearly under dimmer illumination.
ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, a company based in Ambala, Haryana. It sources and supplies prepared slides such as this amoeba preparation to schools, colleges and training institutes, and can price the slide together with microscopes and slide storage so a biology department deals with a single supplier. More about the business is on the ScienceLab company profile.

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.
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Specimen | Paramecium (listed as “Parameci”) |
| Glass | Borosilicate glass slide |
| Specimen finish | Coloured preparation |
| Box material and colour | Plastic, white |
| Box shape | Rectangular |
| Listed dimensions | 25.4 mm x 76.2 mm (1 x 3 in) |
| Intended use | Laboratory |
| Product code | SCL394/097 |
| Supplied by | Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India |
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.
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.

Hydra (Product Code: SCL396/098) is a prepared microscope slide of the freshwater animal Hydra used to teach the simple body plan of cnidarians in school and college zoology. It is a standard item of biology lab equipment for invertebrate lessons, giving students a coloured specimen on borosilicate glass that shows the tube-like body and its crown of tentacles. The slide is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Specimen | Hydra (freshwater cnidarian) |
| Slide | Borosilicate glass, coloured preparation |
| Box | White plastic, rectangular |
| Dimensions stated in listing | 25.4 mm x 76.2 mm (1 x 3 in) |
| Use | Laboratory teaching |
| Product code | SCL396/098 |
| Supplied by | Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India |
Hydra is usually the first multicellular animal students examine after protozoa, so this slide marks the step from single cells to tissues. Learners trace the column of the body from the basal disc, which anchors the animal, up to the hypostome and mouth surrounded by tentacles, and discuss radial symmetry and the stinging cells used to catch prey. Where a preparation happens to show a bud, it also opens a discussion of asexual reproduction.
Because Hydra is large compared with most prepared specimens, start with the lowest objective or even a stereo microscope to see the whole animal, and move up only to examine the tentacle surface. Pupils can sketch the outline at low power, then add labels for tentacles, mouth region, body column and base. Keep the slide flat on the stage and use the stage clips gently so the glass is not strained.
This Hydra slide comes from ScienceLab, the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited in Ambala, Haryana, which sources prepared specimens for schools, universities, training centres and distributors. For vendor registration, the supplying company is Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited (CIN U29309HR2020PTC087597, GSTIN 06AAECJ8618A1ZT). Learn more on the ScienceLab company profile.

What can students see on the Hydra slide?
The Hydra slide shows a coloured Hydra specimen on borosilicate glass, used to identify the body column, basal disc, mouth region and ring of tentacles. It supports lessons on radial symmetry and the simple two-layered body plan of cnidarians.
Does the Hydra slide show budding?
Whether a bud is visible on the Hydra slide depends on the individual specimen, and our listing does not promise one. If your syllabus needs a budding Hydra preparation specifically, mention it through the contact page before ordering so we can advise.
Which microscope suits the Hydra slide?
The Hydra slide should first be viewed at the lowest power of a compound microscope, or under a stereo microscope, because the whole animal is relatively large. Higher objectives are then used to study the tentacles and body surface in more detail.
What vendor registration details does the supplier of the Hydra slide have?
The Hydra slide is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, registered under CIN U29309HR2020PTC087597 and GSTIN 06AAECJ8618A1ZT. These company registrations help institutions and tender buyers complete supplier registration for ScienceLab.
How should the Hydra slide be stored?

Dafnia Lumbricus (Earthworm), Cross Cut (Product Code: SCL398/099) is a prepared microscope slide of a transverse section through the earthworm Lumbricus, used to study annelid body structure in biology practicals. Students use this biological lab specimen to see how the body wall, gut and body cavity fit together in one slice, and the coloured section is mounted on borosilicate glass. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Specimen | Earthworm (Lumbricus), cross section as named |
| Slide material | Borosilicate glass |
| Section | Coloured |
| Storage box | Plastic, white, rectangular |
| Dimensions (listing) | 25.4 mm x 76.2 mm (1 x 3 in) |
| Use | Laboratory |
| Product code | SCL398/099 |
| Supplied by | Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India |
A cross section turns the earthworm into a “tube within a tube” that students can read from the outside in. Working inward from the edge, they look for the thin cuticle and epidermis, the circular and longitudinal muscle layers, the fluid-filled coelom, and the intestine with its folded typhlosole that increases the surface for absorbing food. Bristle-like setae, the ventral nerve cord and the main blood vessels are further features teachers ask pupils to locate and label.
The slide works well after a whole-worm observation or a worm dissection, because it shows internal arrangement that is hard to see with the naked eye. Begin with a low-power objective to take in the full circular outline, then increase magnification to separate the two muscle layers. Asking students to shade each layer in a different colour on their drawing helps them remember the order of tissues.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited operates under the ScienceLab name from Ambala, Haryana, and supplies zoology slides like this earthworm section to educational institutions and trade buyers in India and international markets. Departments that are building up an invertebrate slide collection can send one enquiry covering slides, microscopes and storage. Company details are on the ScienceLab profile page.

What does the Dafnia Lumbricus (Earthworm), Cross Cut slide show?
This slide shows a coloured cross section of the earthworm Lumbricus on borosilicate glass. Students use it to identify the body wall, muscle layers, coelom, intestine and typhlosole, and to understand the tube-within-a-tube body plan of annelids.
Does the slide contain Daphnia as well as the earthworm?
The Dafnia Lumbricus (Earthworm), Cross Cut slide is listed as an earthworm cross section, and our listing does not describe a Daphnia specimen on it. If you need a Daphnia (water flea) preparation, ask us through the contact page before ordering.
Is a cross cut the same as a transverse section?
Yes. On the Dafnia Lumbricus (Earthworm), Cross Cut slide, “cross cut” means a transverse section taken across the body of the worm, so students see a circular slice showing all the internal layers at once.
What magnification is used for the earthworm section?
The earthworm cross section is first viewed under the low-power objective of a compound microscope to see the whole circular slice. A higher objective is then used to separate the muscle layers and examine the intestine wall in detail.

The House Fly, the Mouth Part, and the Whole Body (Product Code: SCL401/0100) is a prepared microscope slide used to study the house fly’s feeding mouthparts and overall insect body form in biology and health-education lessons. Students and teachers use it to link insect anatomy with how flies spread contamination, and the coloured preparation is carried on borosilicate glass. As zoology lab equipment for insect studies, it is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Subject | House fly: mouth part and whole body |
| Slide material | Borosilicate glass |
| Preparation | Coloured |
| Box | Plastic; white; rectangular |
| Listed dimensions | 25.4 mm x 76.2 mm (1 x 3 in) |
| Use | Laboratory |
| Product code | SCL401/0100 |
| Supplied by | Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India |
The house fly does not bite or chew; it feeds with a sponging proboscis whose soft, pad-like tip soaks up liquid food. Viewing the mouth part under the microscope lets students see this structure for themselves and understand why flies moisten solid food before feeding, which is one route by which they carry germs onto what people eat. The whole-body view then shows the three body regions, the large compound eyes, a single pair of wings and the three pairs of legs typical of insects.
Teachers use the slide both in classification lessons, where the single pair of wings places the fly among the true flies, and in hygiene topics that explain why food should be covered. A stereo microscope or the low-power objective of a compound microscope gives the most useful view of the whole insect, while the proboscis tip rewards a closer look at higher magnification.
ScienceLab, legally Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, is a supplier of laboratory and teaching materials in Ambala, Haryana. It sources insect preparations such as this house fly slide for schools, colleges, teacher-training institutes and resellers, and can put the slide on a single quotation with microscopes and entomology items. The ScienceLab profile has more about the company.

What does the house fly mouth part and whole body slide show?
The House Fly, the Mouth Part, and the Whole Body slide carries a coloured preparation of the house fly on borosilicate glass, covering its sponging mouthparts and the whole insect body. It supports lessons on insect anatomy, classification and food hygiene.
Are the mouth part and whole body on one slide?
The product name covers both the mouth part and the whole body of the house fly, but our listing does not state whether they share one slide or come as separate preparations. Please confirm the format through the contact page before ordering.
Why study house fly mouthparts in a hygiene lesson?
The house fly slide shows that the fly feeds by sponging liquid rather than biting. Because flies wet solid food before feeding and also visit waste, students can see why uncovered food becomes contaminated, making the slide useful in health and sanitation teaching.
Which microscope is suitable for the house fly slide?
For the house fly slide, a stereo microscope or the low-power objective of a compound microscope shows the whole insect well. Use a higher objective only when examining the fine structure of the proboscis tip.
Who supplies The House Fly, the Mouth Part, and the Whole Body slide?
The slide is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, Haryana, India. The company sources prepared insect slides for educational and trade buyers in India and international markets and quotes them on request.
How is the house fly slide protected in storage?
The house fly slide is listed with a white, rectangular plastic box. Returning the slide to its box after each class, and holding it only by the edges, keeps the glass and the coloured preparation clean and free of scratches.

| Application | Laboratory study |
| Product code | SCL403/0101 |
| Supplied by | Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India |
Bees have what biologists call chewing-lapping mouthparts: a pair of mandibles for handling wax and pollen, together with a long, flexible tongue that is extended to draw up nectar. On this preparation learners can compare those two tools and discuss why an insect that builds combs and feeds on flowers needs both. The whole-body part of the slide adds the head, thorax and abdomen, the two pairs of membranous wings and the hairy body surface that picks up pollen.
The slide fits naturally into lessons on pollination and on how mouthparts are adapted to diet, especially when shown next to the sponging proboscis of a house fly. Begin at low magnification to see the whole bee and its proportions, then centre the mouth region and step up the objective to separate mandibles from tongue. Students can record the comparison as a two-column table of structure and function.
Supplied by ScienceLab, the brand under which Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited of Ambala, Haryana trades, this bee slide is part of a wider offer of biology teaching materials for schools, colleges and distributors. Buyers equipping an insect-studies bench can request the slide together with microscopes, insect kits and storage in a single enquiry. Visit the ScienceLab company profile to learn more.

In worker honey bees the hind leg is a pollen-carrying tool, and this slide lets students look at it closely. The feature most teachers point out is the pollen basket, a smooth, slightly hollow area on the leg fringed by long curved hairs that hold a ball of packed pollen. Nearby, rows of stiff bristles act as a comb that brushes pollen from the body, and a joint between leg segments works as a press to push it into the basket.
Showing the leg segment by segment helps classes connect structure to function and supports discussion of why bees matter for crop pollination. Scan the whole leg at low power first, then raise the magnification over the bristle rows and the basket margin. A useful follow-up is to have students compare this highly specialised leg with the walking legs of another insect.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab in Ambala, Haryana, supplies this bee hind leg slide to educational buyers and distributors. Institutional buyers who need registration details can note the supplier’s Importer-Exporter Code AAECJ8618A (DGFT) and GSTIN 06AAECJ8618A1ZT.

Three Types of Bacteria, Stained (Product Code: SCL407/0103) is a prepared microscope slide of stained bacteria used to teach how bacteria are grouped by cell shape in school, college and nursing microbiology classes. Because the organisms are already coloured on borosilicate glass, students can study bacterial forms without culturing or staining anything themselves. This practical item of microbiology lab equipment is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Subject | Three types of bacteria |
| Preparation | Stained (coloured) |
| Slide material | Borosilicate glass |
| Box | Plastic, white, rectangular |
| Dimensions listed | 25.4 mm x 76.2 mm (1 x 3 in) |
| Use | Laboratory |
| Product code | SCL407/0103 |
| Supplied by | Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India |
Shape is the first thing a microbiology student learns to describe, and a three-type bacteria slide is normally prepared to show the basic forms side by side: round cocci, rod-shaped bacilli and spiral or curved bacteria. Learners practise recognising each shape and noticing how cells group into pairs, chains or clusters, which is the starting point for later work on identification and on the bacteria behind common diseases.
Bacteria are tiny, so this is a slide for the highest objectives. Locate the stained area at low power, move up step by step, and use an oil-immersion objective with a drop of immersion oil for the final view; wipe the oil off the slide and lens with lens tissue afterwards. Drawing a few cells of each shape to scale is a simple way to reinforce the lesson.
ScienceLab is how Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, based in Ambala in Haryana, is known to its customers. The company supplies stained microbiology slides such as this one to schools, colleges, nursing and paramedical institutes and trade buyers in India and international markets, and can quote microscopes and immersion oil on the same order. More information is on the ScienceLab company profile.
For viewing stained bacteria, buyers often add:
For more microbiology supplies, visit the Laboratory Equipment category or the Prepared Slides range.
What are the three types of bacteria on the slide?
Three-type bacteria slides are normally prepared to show cocci, bacilli and spiral forms. Our listing for Three Types of Bacteria, Stained does not name the organisms used, so please ask through the contact page if your syllabus requires specific species.
Do I need oil immersion to see the bacteria?
Yes, for a clear view. The Three Types of Bacteria, Stained slide should be examined with the oil-immersion objective of a compound microscope and a drop of immersion oil, because bacterial cells are too small to show their shape well at lower power.
Is the bacteria slide safe to use in a classroom?
The Three Types of Bacteria, Stained slide is a ready-made, stained preparation, so students observe the cells without growing or handling cultures. Treat it like any glass slide: hold it by the edges and keep it in its box when not in use.
What is the slide made of?
The Three Types of Bacteria, Stained slide is made of borosilicate glass carrying a coloured bacterial preparation. It is listed with a white, rectangular plastic box, and the dimensions in the listing are 25.4 mm x 76.2 mm.
Who supplies the Three Types of Bacteria, Stained slide?
The slide is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) of Ambala, Haryana, India. ScienceLab sources microbiology slides for educational institutions and dealers and can include microscopes and immersion oil in the same quotation.
