Zinc Acetate (Product Code: SCL460/0142) is the zinc salt of acetic acid, a water-soluble reagent used to prepare zinc-ion solutions and to practise qualitative salt analysis in school and college laboratories. Chemistry and biology teachers buy it as 500 gm of analytical reagent grade salt, supplied with an MSDS. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, for institutions sourcing from a laboratory chemicals supplier in India.

Specifications

What Is Zinc Acetate Used For?

In senior-secondary chemistry practicals, zinc acetate is a useful unknown salt because it contains one cation and one anion that students learn to identify. The acetate ion gives a vinegar-like smell when the salt is warmed with dilute sulphuric acid, and the zinc ion is confirmed through its white precipitate in group analysis. Teachers also dissolve it to prepare stock solutions of zinc ions for demonstrations of precipitation and displacement reactions, which makes it a regular item in a salt analysis kit for school labs.

Weigh out only what the practical needs on a balance, dissolve it in distilled water in a clean beaker, and label the solution with its contents and date. Keep the container tightly closed in a cool, dry cupboard, avoid breathing dust when transferring the solid, and refer to the supplied MSDS for first-aid and disposal guidance. Labs usually order it with other chemistry consumables so that the salt-analysis cupboard is stocked in a single purchase.

Mitosis Set (Product Code: SCL462/0143) is a set of microscope slides used to study the stages of mitosis, the cell division that produces two genetically identical daughter cells, in school and college biology labs. Teachers can hand one set to each bench because the clear borosilicate glass slides are kept together in a white, rectangular plastic box. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, for buyers of a microscope slides set for school practicals.

Specifications

What Is the Mitosis Slide Set Used For?

Students scan the slides first on low power to find a region of actively dividing cells, then switch to high power and look for the sequence of stages. They identify interphase, prophase with condensing chromosomes, metaphase with chromosomes lined up at the equator, anaphase with chromatids pulled to opposite poles, and telophase as two nuclei re-form. Counting how many cells sit in each stage is a simple way to introduce the idea that the longest phases are seen most often.

A ready reference set is valuable when students also prepare their own root-tip squashes, because they can compare a clear example with their own attempt. Hold slides by the edges, return each one to its place in the box after use, and wipe the glass with lens tissue if fingerprints appear. As cell biology equipment, the set fits syllabus units on the cell cycle at both school and undergraduate level.

Meiosis Set (Product Code: SCL464/0144) is a set of microscope slides used to teach meiosis, the reduction division that halves the chromosome number and produces gametes or spores, in biology laboratories. Teachers often bring it out straight after a mitosis lesson, and each clear borosilicate glass slide is kept in a white, rectangular plastic box between classes. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, as one of its biology teaching aids for schools and colleges.

Specifications

What Is the Meiosis Slide Set Used For?

Meiosis is harder to picture than mitosis because it involves two successive divisions. With the slides under a compound microscope, students look for the features that set meiosis apart: homologous chromosomes pairing in prophase I, pairs rather than single chromosomes lining up in metaphase I, homologues separating in anaphase I, and a second division that finally leaves four cells. Teachers often use the set straight after a mitosis lesson so that learners can list the differences from what they have just seen.

The slides also work well during revision, viewed through a microscope camera or passed round in small groups. Handle each slide by its edges, avoid pressing on the mounted area, and put it back in the plastic box before the next group arrives so that the set stays complete from year to year.

Bacteria (Product Code: SCL465/0145) is a microscope slide of bacteria used to introduce students to prokaryotic cells, the smallest living cells they meet in school and college biology courses. Teachers show it before learners make their own smears, and the specimen is carried on a clear borosilicate glass slide supplied in a white, rectangular plastic box. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, for institutions building up their microbiology lab equipment.

Specifications

What Is the Bacteria Slide Used For?

Bacteria are so small that they only become clear at the highest magnification of a compound microscope, normally with an oil-immersion objective. Teachers use a slide like this to show students what to expect before they try making and staining their own smears, and to discuss the basic bacterial shapes: rounded cocci, rod-shaped bacilli and spiral forms. It also anchors the lesson on how prokaryotic cells differ from plant and animal cells, with no true nucleus and no membrane-bound organelles.

If immersion oil is used, wipe it off the glass with lens tissue straight after viewing and return the slide to its box. The slide is a practical part of a microbiology lab setup, where students progress from observing reference material to culturing and staining samples themselves.

Yes. The Bacteria slide was previously listed under the misspelling Bacetria; the product code SCL465/0145 and the item are unchanged. It is a bacteria specimen on a clear borosilicate glass slide, supplied in a white rectangular plastic box.

Which bacteria and which stain are on the slide?
The listing for the Bacteria slide does not name the organisms or the staining method. Please contact us through the contact page if your syllabus needs a particular type, such as Gram-positive and Gram-negative examples, before placing the order.

What magnification is needed?
Bacteria are best seen with an oil-immersion objective on a compound microscope, since lower powers show little more than tiny dots. Plan to view the Bacteria slide at the highest magnification your microscopes offer, after focusing on low power first.

How do I clean immersion oil off the slide?
Wipe the Bacteria slide gently with lens tissue straight after viewing, moving in one direction, and do not soak it in solvent. Return it to its plastic box once clean so the glass stays free of dust and scratches.

Oscillatoria (Product Code: SCL467/0146) is a prepared microscope slide of Oscillatoria used to study a filamentous cyanobacterium in school and college biology practicals. Teachers of classification and plant diversity use it to show a photosynthetic prokaryote whose cells are joined end to end in long, unbranched threads, mounted on clear borosilicate glass and kept in a white rectangular plastic box. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, as part of its prepared microscope slides for botany lab equipment collections.

Key Details

What Is the Oscillatoria Slide Used For?

Oscillatoria turns up in the classification and plant-diversity units of most biology courses, where it is the usual example of a blue-green alga. Under the microscope, students trace the filament (trichome) and see that it is built from short, disc-like cells stacked like coins. Because this is a prokaryote, no chloroplasts or nucleus appear as separate structures; the pigments lie freely in the cytoplasm. The genus is named after the slow, swaying movement of living filaments, a useful talking point even though a slide shows only structure.

A good exercise is to place the slide beside a Spirogyra slide and ask students to list the differences between a prokaryotic and a eukaryotic filament. Start on low power to locate a group of threads, then move to high power to count cells along one filament. Clean the glass with lens tissue only and keep the slide in its box, away from heat, between classes so it stays a clear reference in your school biology lab equipment.

Supplier

Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab, is based in Ambala, Haryana, and supplies this slide with other biology teaching material to schools, colleges, universities and distributors in India and international markets. Read more about the company on our company profile.

These items are often ordered with the Oscillatoria slide for a practical on algae and cyanobacteria:

• Spirogyra — a green filamentous alga to contrast with the prokaryotic filaments of Oscillatoria.
• Bacteria — a bacteria slide for comparing another group of prokaryotes.
• Plain Slides — for students’ own temporary mounts of pond-water samples.
• Binocular Microscope — for studying filament and cell detail at high power.
• Slide Box — for organising a set of algae and microbe slides.

Our Biology Lab category lists further specimen slides, stains and apparatus.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Oscillotoria the same product as the Oscillatoria slide?
Yes. Oscillotoria was the earlier catalogue spelling of this item; the listing now uses the correct genus name, Oscillatoria, and the product code SCL467/0146 stays the same, so earlier enquiries refer to the same slide.

Is Oscillatoria an alga or a bacterium?
Oscillatoria is a cyanobacterium, which makes it a prokaryote rather than a true alga. Older textbooks group it with the blue-green algae because it photosynthesises, which is why the Oscillatoria slide usually appears in botany and plant-diversity practicals.

Can students see the oscillating movement on the Oscillatoria slide?
No. The swaying movement that gives Oscillatoria its name happens only in living filaments. The prepared slide is used to study the structure of the trichome and its disc-shaped cells; a fresh pond-water mount is needed to watch the movement itself.

What are the Oscillatoria slide and its box made of?
The Oscillatoria slide is made of clear borosilicate glass and is supplied in a white, rectangular plastic box that keeps the glass clean between classes. Other details, such as the stain used, are not stated in our listing, so please ask through our contact page.

Germinating Pollen Grains (Product Code: SCL468/0147) is a microscope slide used to show pollen grains at the germination stage, when a pollen tube grows out of the grain, in plant reproduction practicals. It gives school and college students a clear view of the first step towards fertilisation in flowering plants, on a clear borosilicate glass slide kept in a white rectangular plastic box. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, within its plant biology lab equipment range.

Key Details

What Is the Germinating Pollen Grains Slide Used For?

In the reproduction unit, students often try to germinate fresh pollen themselves by dusting it onto a drop of sugar solution in a cavity slide and checking it after some time. Results vary with the flower, the season and the room temperature, so a reference slide ensures every student still sees a successful germination: the rounded grain, the point where the tube has broken through the wall, and the tube itself extending across the field.

Begin on low power to find a group of grains, then move to high power to follow individual tubes. Return the slide to its plastic box after each class and keep it away from heat. For schools planning school biology lab equipment in India, it pairs well with flower dissection and angiosperm life-cycle lessons.

Supplier

Operating as ScienceLab, Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited is based in Ambala, Haryana, and supplies slides, charts and apparatus for biology teaching to institutions and distributors in India and international markets. The company profile has further details.

• Sucrose — for preparing the sugar solution in which fresh pollen is germinated.
• Cavity Slides (Single Cavity) — to hold the drop of solution and pollen.
• Coverslips — to cover the drop while the pollen germinates.
• Basic Plant Anatomy Slide Set — a set of 20 slides that includes pollen grains and a stigma with pollen tubes.
• Binocular Microscope — for following the pollen tubes across the field.

Explore the Biology Lab category for more plant reproduction slides and apparatus.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Germinating Pollen Grains slide show?
The Germinating Pollen Grains slide shows pollen grains in the process of germination, with pollen tubes growing out through the grain wall. Students use it to identify the grain, the point where the tube emerges and the tube itself during angiosperm reproduction practicals.

Can the Germinating Pollen Grains slide replace the live experiment?
The Germinating Pollen Grains slide works best alongside the live experiment rather than instead of it. The slide gives every student a dependable reference view, while germinating fresh pollen in sugar solution lets the class watch the process in its own preparation.

Which plant is the pollen on this slide taken from?
Our listing for the Germinating Pollen Grains slide does not name the plant species. If your practical manual refers to a particular flower, please mention it on our contact page before ordering so that we can tell you what we are able to supply.

What are the Germinating Pollen Grains slide and box made of?
The Germinating Pollen Grains slide is clear borosilicate glass, and it is stored in a white, rectangular plastic box. Keep it flat in the box, away from heat and damp, and clean the glass only with lens tissue.

Stomata (Product Code: SCL469/0148) is a microscope slide used to study stomata, the tiny leaf-surface pores through which a plant exchanges carbon dioxide, oxygen and water vapour, in school and college biology labs. Each pore is bordered by a pair of guard cells, and students see this arrangement on clear borosilicate glass that is stored in a white plastic box. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, as a staple of biology lab setup for schools.

Key Details

What Is the Stomata Slide Used For?

Stomata link several syllabus topics at once: photosynthesis, respiration and transpiration. On the slide, students identify the guard cells, the pore between them and the surrounding epidermal cells, then draw and label the structure. Guard cells in most dicot leaves are bean- or kidney-shaped, while grasses have dumb-bell-shaped guard cells, a good discussion point when the class also prepares its own leaf peels.

The slide is also handy for introducing the stomatal index: students count stomata and ordinary epidermal cells in one field of view and work out the proportion. It fits naturally into plant biology lab equipment for transpiration experiments, where students connect what they see under the lens with the water loss they measure. Keep the slide in its box when not in use and clean it only with lens tissue.

Supplier

ScienceLab is the trading name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, based in Ambala, Haryana, which supplies prepared slides and biology apparatus to institutions in India and international markets. For vendor registration, the supplying company is identified by CIN U29309HR2020PTC087597 and GSTIN 06AAECJ8618A1ZT. More about us is on the company profile page.

• Cobalt Chloride Paper — compares water loss from the upper and lower leaf surfaces.
• Ganog’s Potometer — measures water uptake by a leafy shoot as an estimate of transpiration.
• Safranine (Plant Tissue) — for staining students’ own epidermal peels.
• Plain Slides — for mounting those peels.

See the complete Biology Lab range for more plant anatomy slides.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which plant is the leaf on the Stomata slide taken from?
Our listing for the Stomata slide does not name the plant species or say whether the leaf is from a monocot or a dicot. If your syllabus needs a particular type, please ask through our contact page before you place the order.

Can the Stomata slide be used to calculate stomatal index?
Yes, as a practice exercise. Where both stomata and ordinary epidermal cells are visible in one field, students using the Stomata slide can count each and calculate the stomatal index as the share of stomata among all the epidermal cells counted.

Do students still need to make their own leaf peels?
Many syllabi ask for it. The prepared Stomata slide is a dependable reference that every student can view, while a peel from a fresh leaf teaches the technique; stocking both, with safranine and plain slides for the peels, covers the practical fully.

What are the Stomata slide and box made of?
The Stomata slide is made of clear borosilicate glass and comes in a white, rectangular plastic box. Returning it to the box after each lesson keeps dust and scratches off the glass so the guard cells stay easy to see.

Ts Root Tip Onion (Product Code: SCL470/0149) is a microscope slide carrying a transverse section of an onion root tip, used to study actively dividing cells in cell biology practicals. Onion roots are standard teaching material for cell division because they grow quickly and have relatively large chromosomes, and this section is mounted on clear borosilicate glass kept in a white rectangular plastic box. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, for schools and colleges that use prepared microscope slides.

Key Details

What Is the Onion Root Tip Slide Used For?

The root tip holds the meristem, so a section through it catches many cells at different points in the cell cycle. Students look for nuclei with visible chromosomes, compare them with cells still in interphase, then sketch and label what they find. Because a transverse section cuts across the root, it also shows how tightly packed and thin-walled the young meristematic cells are.

Teachers often run this slide next to a root-tip squash that the class prepares with acetocarmine, so students can judge their own preparation against a clean reference. Hold the slide by its edges, clean it with lens tissue and return it to the box after use; it is a practical addition to the cell biology equipment of school and college labs in India.

• Watch Glass — to hold root tips while they are treated with stain.
• Binocular Microscope — for identifying dividing cells on high power.
• Slide Box — to store the slide with the rest of your collection.

Browse the Biology Lab category for other plant and cell biology slides.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is onion root tip used for studying cell division?
Onion roots grow quickly from a bulb, their tips contain many dividing cells, and the chromosomes are large enough to see with a school microscope. That is why the Ts Root Tip Onion slide is a standard reference for mitosis lessons in schools and colleges.

Is Ts Root Tip Onion a transverse section or a squash?
As its name states, Ts Root Tip Onion is a transverse section of the root tip, not a squash. To follow the successive stages of mitosis more fully, the Mitosis Set or a class-made acetocarmine squash complements this slide well.

Is the section on the Ts Root Tip Onion slide stained?
Our listing for the Ts Root Tip Onion slide does not describe the staining. If your practical requires a particular stain, please ask through our contact page and we will tell you what we can confirm before you order.
