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.

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.

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.
Can the bacteria slide be ordered for a whole microbiology lab?
Yes. Three Types of Bacteria, Stained slides can be quoted in quantities to equip every microscope in a microbiology lab. Share the number of workstations and the delivery location, and ScienceLab will prepare a combined quotation.
