Stomata
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.

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.

- Safranine (Plant Tissue) — for staining students’ own epidermal peels.
- Plain Slides — for mounting those peels.

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.
Who supplies the Stomata slide?
The Stomata slide is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab from Ambala, Haryana, India. Its registration numbers for vendor enrolment are given in the Supplier section above; ask us for any other documents your purchase office needs.
Is bulk or export supply of the Stomata slide possible?
Yes. We quote for class sets of the Stomata slide and for delivery to institutions and distributors in India and international markets. Send the product code SCL469/0148, the quantity and the destination through the contact page.
