Stained Frog Blood (Product Code: SCL415/0107) is a prepared microscope slide of stained frog blood used to show the blood cells of an amphibian and to contrast them with mammalian blood in zoology and comparative physiology classes. Students notice at once that the frog’s red cells are oval and carry a nucleus, and the coloured preparation is mounted on borosilicate glass. This zoology lab slide is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

Frog blood is a favourite for comparative lessons because its red cells look so different from ours. They are elliptical rather than round, noticeably larger, and each keeps a clearly stained central nucleus. Among them students can also pick out white cells with their varied nuclei and the small spindle-shaped thrombocytes that do the clotting work carried out by platelets in mammals.
The slide is usually examined straight after, or next to, a human blood preparation, and pupils record the differences in shape, size and nucleus in a comparison table. Medium power is enough to see the oval nucleated red cells across a wide field, while high power helps with white-cell detail. It also links well with frog anatomy and dissection topics, giving a microscopic view of the animal whose organs the class has already studied.
The frog blood slide is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab and is based in Ambala, Haryana. Its customers include schools, colleges, university zoology departments and educational distributors in India and international markets, and comparison pairs such as frog and human blood can be requested on one quotation.

What does the Stained Frog Blood slide show?
The Stained Frog Blood slide shows a coloured preparation of frog blood on borosilicate glass. Students see oval red cells that each contain a nucleus, along with white cells and small thrombocytes, making it a standard slide for amphibian blood studies.
Why do frog red blood cells have a nucleus?
Frog red blood cells keep their nucleus throughout their life, as in most non-mammalian vertebrates, whereas mature human red cells lose it. The Stained Frog Blood slide makes this difference easy to see under the microscope.
How do I compare frog and human blood in class?
Place the Stained Frog Blood slide and a human blood slide on neighbouring microscopes and have students record cell shape, size and the presence of a nucleus. The side-by-side comparison works well as a structured worksheet exercise.
What magnification does the frog blood slide need?
The Stained Frog Blood slide can be examined at medium power, because frog red cells are relatively large. High power or oil immersion is useful when students need to study white cells and thrombocytes more closely.
Who supplies the Stained Frog Blood slide?
Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab) in Ambala, Haryana, India supplies the Stained Frog Blood slide. The company sources prepared zoology slides for schools, colleges and distributors and quotes them on request.
Is the frog blood slide listed with a storage box?
Yes. The Stained Frog Blood slide is listed with a white, rectangular plastic box, with dimensions of 25.4 mm x 76.2 mm given in the listing. Keep the slide boxed and away from sunlight between classes.
