Ts Of Dicot Stem (Product Code: SCL471/0150) is a microscope slide showing a transverse section of a dicotyledonous stem, used to teach the internal plan of a young stem in botany practicals. Its key teaching feature is the ring of vascular bundles around a central pith, which separates a dicot stem from a monocot stem; the section sits on clear borosilicate glass in a white rectangular plastic box. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, for users of botany lab equipment.

Working from the outside in, students identify the epidermis, the hypodermis and cortex, the endodermis, the pericycle, the ring of vascular bundles and the pith at the centre. Each bundle is conjoint and collateral, with phloem towards the outside, xylem towards the centre, and a strip of cambium between them that later allows the stem to thicken. Drawing a labelled sector of the section is a common exam-style task, and the slide gives every student the same clear example.
The slide is most useful next to a monocot stem section, so students can spot the ring-versus-scattered bundle arrangement for themselves. Store it flat in its box, wipe the glass with lens tissue when needed, and keep it out of direct sunlight; it remains a core item of plant anatomy teaching in any biology lab in India.

Which tissues can students identify on the Ts Of Dicot Stem slide?
On the Ts Of Dicot Stem slide students normally look for the epidermis, hypodermis, cortex, endodermis, pericycle, a ring of vascular bundles with xylem, phloem and cambium, and a central pith. How clearly each layer shows depends on the section.
How can students tell a dicot stem section from a monocot stem?
Look at the vascular bundles. On the Ts Of Dicot Stem slide they form a ring and contain cambium, while a monocot stem section shows many scattered bundles without cambium. Viewing both slides in one session makes the difference easy to remember.
Which plant is the dicot stem section taken from?
Our listing for the Ts Of Dicot Stem slide does not name the species. If your syllabus specifies a plant such as sunflower, please mention it through our contact page and we will tell you what we can supply.

Ts Of Dicot Root (Product Code: SCL472/0151) is a microscope slide carrying a transverse section of a dicotyledonous root, used to teach how roots are built to absorb and conduct water in plant anatomy classes. Unlike a stem, the root has xylem and phloem in separate, alternating strands arranged like wheel spokes, and students learn this radial pattern on a clear borosilicate glass slide kept in a white plastic box. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, with its range of prepared microscope slides.
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Specimen | Dicot root, transverse section |
| Slide | Clear borosilicate glass |
| Storage box | Plastic, white, rectangular |
| Application | Laboratory use |
| Product code | SCL472/0151 |
| Supplied by | Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India |
On the section, students trace the epiblema (the outer layer that bears root hairs), a wide parenchymatous cortex, a distinct endodermis with thickened Casparian strips, the pericycle and the central vascular cylinder. The xylem is exarch, meaning the oldest xylem lies towards the outside, and the pith is small or missing. Asking students why a root needs a well-developed endodermis connects structure with water uptake.
Placed beside a monocot root, the slide highlights how the number of xylem strands and the size of the pith differ between the two groups. After viewing, return it to its plastic box and clean it with lens tissue only; it is a reliable teaching aid for plant anatomy units in school biology lab equipment.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited runs its business under the ScienceLab name from Ambala, Haryana, and supplies slides, charts and apparatus to teaching institutions in India and international markets. Find out more on our company profile.

What are the main features of the Ts Of Dicot Root section?
The Ts Of Dicot Root slide shows radial vascular bundles with exarch xylem, a prominent endodermis and pericycle, a wide parenchymatous cortex and a small or absent pith. These are the points examiners usually expect students to label.
How does a dicot root section differ from a dicot stem section?
In the Ts Of Dicot Root slide, xylem and phloem lie on different radii as separate strands. In a dicot stem they sit together in conjoint bundles arranged in a ring, which is why the two slides are often compared in one lesson.
How does the Ts Of Dicot Root slide differ from a monocot root?
A dicot root, as on the Ts Of Dicot Root slide, has fewer xylem strands and little or no pith. A monocot root has many xylem strands arranged around a large central pith, so the two are easy to tell apart side by side.
What is the Ts Of Dicot Root slide made of?
The Ts Of Dicot Root slide is made of clear borosilicate glass and is stored in a white, rectangular plastic box. Our listing does not state the plant species or the stain, so please ask through our contact page if your practical needs those details.

Ts Of Monocot Stem (Product Code: SCL473/0152) is a microscope slide of a transverse section through a monocotyledonous stem, the stem type found in grasses and cereals, used to teach monocot stem anatomy. Its defining feature is the large number of vascular bundles scattered through the ground tissue instead of forming a ring, shown on clear borosilicate glass kept in a white rectangular plastic box. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, among its biology teaching aids for plant anatomy.
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Specimen | Monocot stem, transverse section |
| Slide material | Borosilicate glass |
| Slide colour | Clear |
| Box | Plastic, white, rectangular |
| Application | Laboratory use |
| Product code | SCL473/0152 |
| Supplied by | Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India |
Students begin at the edge of the section, where a thin epidermis is backed by a band of sclerenchymatous hypodermis, and move inwards through ground tissue that is not divided into a separate cortex and pith. Scattered across it are the vascular bundles, each wrapped in a sclerenchyma sheath; they are conjoint, collateral and closed because they lack cambium, which is why most monocot stems do not thicken with age. Bundles near the edge are usually smaller and more crowded than those towards the centre.
Viewing this slide right after a dicot stem section is the quickest way for students to master a comparison that appears in many exam questions. Keep it in its box, clean it with lens tissue and keep it off hot, sunny window sills; it sits well alongside other botany lab equipment for stem, root and leaf anatomy.
ScienceLab is the trade name of Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited in Ambala, Haryana, which supplies prepared slides and biology apparatus to buyers in India and international markets. For vendor and export paperwork, the supplying company’s Importer-Exporter Code is AAECJ8618A (DGFT) and its GSTIN is 06AAECJ8618A1ZT. Our company profile has more background.

What features identify the Ts Of Monocot Stem section?
On the Ts Of Monocot Stem slide, look for numerous scattered vascular bundles, each with a sclerenchyma sheath and no cambium, a sclerenchymatous hypodermis, and ground tissue that is not separated into cortex and pith.
Why do monocot stems usually not thicken?
Their vascular bundles are closed, meaning they have no cambium, so the usual secondary growth does not take place. The Ts Of Monocot Stem slide lets students check this for themselves by comparing its bundles with those on a dicot stem section.
Is the plant species given for the Ts Of Monocot Stem slide?
No. Our listing for the Ts Of Monocot Stem slide does not name the species. If your syllabus refers to a particular plant, for example maize, please mention it through our contact page before you order.

In a root anatomy practical the slide goes on the stage of a compound microscope, the section is found under the low-power objective, and students trace the tissues inwards: the epiblema with its root hairs, a broad parenchymatous cortex, the endodermis, the pericycle, and a ring of many alternating xylem and phloem groups around a large central pith. The high number of xylem groups (the polyarch condition) and the wide pith are the features examiners usually expect students to point out.
Teachers often keep this slide next to a dicot root section so a class can draw and label both in one session, which makes it useful botany lab equipment for comparison exercises. Hold the slide by its edges, wipe the glass with lens tissue if fingerprints appear, and return it to its plastic box after the lesson.

Ts Of Dicot Leaf (Product Code: SCL476/0154) is a ready-to-view slide showing a transverse section through the blade of a dicotyledonous leaf, used to teach how a leaf is built for photosynthesis and gas exchange. Biology teachers use it in anatomy and plant physiology lessons, and students rely on it for labelled drawings in their practical records; the slide is clear borosilicate glass stored in a white plastic box. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, within its plant biology lab equipment range.
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Specimen | Dicot leaf |
| Section plane | Transverse (TS) |
| Glass type | Borosilicate |
| Glass clarity | Clear |
| Box | White, rectangular, plastic |
| Setting | Laboratory use |
| Product code | SCL476/0154 |
| Supplied by | Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India |
A dicot leaf is dorsiventral, and this section lets a class see why. Students move from the upper epidermis and its cuticle to the tightly packed, column-like palisade cells, then to the loosely arranged spongy mesophyll with its air spaces, and finally to the lower epidermis, where stomata are usually more frequent. The midrib bundle shows xylem towards the upper surface and phloem towards the lower surface, linking leaf structure with the movement of water and food.
A good exercise is to ask students which surface faced the light, judging by the two mesophyll layers. Use the fine-focus knob to scan through the palisade layer, keep the stage clips gentle on the glass, and store the slide flat in its box. Schools buying a microscope slides set for class practicals usually pair this one with the monocot leaf section.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited supplies this slide and trades under the ScienceLab brand from Ambala, Haryana. Schools, colleges and distributors in India and international markets order biology teaching material from the company; our company profile gives the full background.

Which leaf tissues can students identify on the Ts Of Dicot Leaf slide?
On the Ts Of Dicot Leaf slide students normally look for the upper and lower epidermis, palisade and spongy mesophyll, stomata and the midrib vascular bundle. How clearly each shows depends on the part of the leaf that was sectioned.
How is the Ts Of Dicot Leaf slide different from the monocot leaf slide?
The Ts Of Dicot Leaf slide shows distinct palisade and spongy layers, the dorsiventral pattern. A monocot leaf has more uniform mesophyll and similar upper and lower surfaces, the isobilateral pattern, so viewing both slides makes the contrast clear.
What does the plastic box supplied with the Ts Of Dicot Leaf slide do?
The white rectangular plastic box keeps dust off the clear borosilicate glass of the Ts Of Dicot Leaf slide and protects it from scratches during storage and when it is carried between classrooms.

Ts Of Monocot Leaf (Product Code: SCL477/0155) is a prepared slide of a monocotyledonous leaf cut in transverse section, used to show learners how a grass-type leaf differs from the broad leaf of a dicot. Teachers use it as one of their biology teaching aids for plant anatomy, and students practise identifying and drawing leaf tissues on its clear borosilicate glass. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, in a white rectangular plastic box.
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Specimen | Monocot leaf |
| Cut | Transverse section (TS) |
| Slide | Clear borosilicate glass |

| Box colour and shape | White, rectangular |
| Application | Laboratory |
| Product code | SCL477/0155 |
| Supplied by | Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India |
Monocot leaves are isobilateral: both surfaces are similar and the mesophyll is not split into palisade and spongy layers. On this section students look for stomata on both epidermal surfaces, groups of large, thin-walled bulliform (motor) cells in the upper epidermis that help the leaf roll up when water is short, and a row of parallel vascular bundles, each surrounded by a bundle sheath.
The most effective lesson places this slide beside a dicot leaf section so learners can list the differences in a two-column table. Scan from one edge of the section to the other at low power to count the vascular bundles before switching to high power for the bulliform cells. When the practical ends, clean the glass with dry lens tissue and return it to its box.

Which features mark the Ts Of Monocot Leaf section as a monocot leaf?
On the Ts Of Monocot Leaf slide, look for similar upper and lower surfaces, mesophyll that is not divided into palisade and spongy layers, bulliform cells in the upper epidermis and a row of parallel vascular bundles with bundle sheaths.
Why do both surfaces of the monocot leaf section look alike?
Many monocot leaves grow upright, so light falls on both sides and the tissues on each surface develop in a similar way. That is why the Ts Of Monocot Leaf slide shows stomata on both epidermal surfaces and no distinct palisade layer.
Is the Ts Of Monocot Leaf slide sold singly or in a pack?
Our listing describes the Ts Of Monocot Leaf slide with its white plastic storage box but does not state a pack quantity. Tell us how many slides you need through our contact page and we will quote for that number.

Parenchyma (Product Code: SCL478/0156) is a prepared microscope slide of parenchyma, the most common simple permanent tissue in plants, used to introduce plant histology in school and college labs. It shows students the living, thin-walled cells that make up most of the soft parts of a plant and is usually the first tissue slide in the series, mounted on clear borosilicate glass in a white plastic box. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, as part of its biology lab equipment for schools.
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Tissue | Parenchyma (simple permanent plant tissue) |
| Slide material | Borosilicate glass, clear |

| Box shape | Rectangular |
| Use | Laboratory |
| Product code | SCL478/0156 |
| Supplied by | Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India |
Parenchyma cells are roughly isodiametric, have thin cellulose walls and often leave small intercellular spaces between them. Teachers use this slide to introduce those three features before moving on to specialised tissues, and to explain that parenchyma forms the cortex, pith and much of the leaf mesophyll, where it stores food, carries out photosynthesis or, in aquatic plants, holds air.
In a school biology lab the parenchyma slide is normally examined first, followed by collenchyma and sclerenchyma, so students can compare wall thickness step by step. Ask learners to sketch a small group of cells at high power and label the cell wall, intercellular space and cell contents. Keep the slide in its box between classes and handle it only by the edges.
The slide is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which operates as ScienceLab from Ambala, Haryana, India, for schools, colleges and distributors in India and international markets. Purchase offices that register vendors can record the supplying company’s GSTIN 06AAECJ8618A1ZT and LEI 3358004HRD1JIVXKYX49. Our company profile has further details.

Explore the wider Biology Lab range for more tissue slides and reagents.
What should students look for on the Parenchyma slide?
On the Parenchyma slide, students look for thin-walled, rounded or many-sided cells with small spaces between them. Depending on the preparation, nuclei or large vacuoles may also be visible, and these features are what they label in their drawings.
How does parenchyma differ from collenchyma and sclerenchyma?
Parenchyma, as seen on the Parenchyma slide, has thin, even walls; collenchyma has walls thickened at the corners; sclerenchyma has uniformly thick, lignified walls and its mature cells are dead. Viewing the three slides in order makes the comparison clear.
Which plant or organ is the tissue on the Parenchyma slide taken from?
Our listing for the Parenchyma slide does not state the source plant or organ. If your syllabus requires a specific source, please ask through our contact page before ordering, and we will tell you what we can confirm.
Can students also make their own parenchyma mounts?
Yes. Thin sections of soft storage tissue can be mounted on plain slides and stained, for example with methylene blue, and the prepared Parenchyma slide then serves as the reference against which students check their own mounts.
Who supplies the Parenchyma slide?
The Parenchyma slide is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab from Ambala, Haryana, India. Its GSTIN and LEI for vendor registration appear in the Supplier section above, and further documents can be requested with the quotation.

Sclerenchyma (Product Code: SCL480/0158) is a microscope slide of sclerenchyma, the hard, thick-walled tissue that gives plants mechanical strength, used in botany practicals on simple permanent tissues. It helps students recognise lignified cells and understand how stems, seed coats and the gritty flesh of some fruits resist bending and crushing; the slide is clear borosilicate glass packed in a white plastic box. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, for teaching collections of prepared microscope slides.
| Parameter | Detail |
|---|---|
| Tissue shown | Sclerenchyma |
| Glass | Borosilicate, clear |
| Storage | Rectangular white plastic box |
| Used in | Laboratory |
| Product code | SCL480/0158 |
| Supplied by | Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India |
Sclerenchyma occurs in two forms: long, tapering fibres and short, irregular sclereids (stone cells). In both, the walls are heavily lignified and the mature cells are dead, so the central cavity often looks narrow or empty and fine pit canals may run through the wall. During a practical, students first find the thickest-walled cells at low power, then use high power to compare wall thickness with the size of the lumen.
This slide works well as the final step in a simple-tissue sequence after parenchyma and collenchyma, and it links forward to xylem, which contains fibres of its own. Keep the three simple-tissue slides together in labelled boxes, clean any smudges with lens tissue, and avoid pressing the objective lens onto the glass when focusing at high power.
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, known by its brand name ScienceLab, supplies this slide from Ambala, Haryana, India, to institutional buyers in India and international markets. The company profile describes the company and the range it supplies.
Pair this slide with these items from the same practical:
The full Biology Lab category lists more plant anatomy material.
Are the cells on the Sclerenchyma slide living?
No. Mature sclerenchyma cells are dead; only the thick, lignified wall remains, and that wall gives the tissue its strength. On the Sclerenchyma slide students therefore see narrow, often empty cavities surrounded by heavy walls.
Does the Sclerenchyma slide show fibres, sclereids or both?
Our listing names the tissue on the Sclerenchyma slide without specifying the form. If your practical needs fibres or sclereids in particular, please ask through our contact page before ordering and we will tell you what we can confirm.
Why are the cell walls on the Sclerenchyma slide so thick?
Lignin is laid down in the cell wall, making it rigid and waterproof. This is what allows sclerenchyma to support the plant, and it is the heavy, uniform wall thickening that students learn to recognise on the Sclerenchyma slide.
What is the Sclerenchyma slide made of?
The Sclerenchyma slide is made of clear borosilicate glass and comes in a rectangular white plastic box. Our listing does not state how many slides one box holds, so please confirm the pack quantity with us when you ask for a quotation.
Who supplies the Sclerenchyma slide?
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, supplies the Sclerenchyma slide from Ambala, Haryana, India. It serves schools, colleges and distributors in India and international markets with prepared slides, stains and microscopes.
Can the Sclerenchyma slide be ordered with other plant tissue slides?
Yes. Parenchyma, collenchyma, xylem and phloem slides are listed as separate items and can be combined with the Sclerenchyma slide, product code SCL480/0158, in a single enquiry for one quotation.
