Ts Bone Tissue
Ts Bone Tissue (Product Code: SCL446/0169) is a prepared microscope slide carrying a transverse section (TS) of bone, used to teach the structure of hard connective tissue in school and college biology practicals. Students examine the ring-like units of bone and the tiny spaces where bone cells live, which makes it standard school biology lab equipment for lessons on the skeleton. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, in a white plastic box.

What Is the TS Bone Tissue Slide Used For?
In a transverse section of compact bone the tissue is arranged in Haversian systems (osteons). Each has a central Haversian canal, which in life carries blood vessels and nerves, surrounded by concentric rings of hard matrix called lamellae. Between the rings lie small spaces, the lacunae, each once occupied by a bone cell (osteocyte), and fine channels called canaliculi radiate from them so the cells can exchange nutrients and wastes. Students use the slide to label these parts and to explain how living cells survive inside a mineralised material.
For a complete biology lab setup on connective tissues, this slide is usually studied after cartilage or other connective tissue slides and alongside an enlarged bone model. Scan at low power until a clear ring pattern appears, then use high power to count the lamellae around a single canal and trace the canaliculi. Because the matrix is dense, gentle focusing with the fine-adjustment knob gives the sharpest view; return the slide to its box after use.
Supplier
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited supplies this bone section slide under its trading name, ScienceLab, from Ambala, Haryana, India. Teaching laboratories in India and international markets can order it on its own or together with other connective tissue slides; see our company profile for background.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Haversian system?
A Haversian system, the ring-like unit seen on the Ts Bone Tissue slide, is the basic structural unit of compact bone: a central canal surrounded by concentric lamellae, with osteocytes sitting in lacunae between the layers.
What are the small dark spots between the rings?
The small dark spots between the rings on the Ts Bone Tissue slide are lacunae, the spaces that held bone cells (osteocytes). The fine lines running out from them are canaliculi, which link neighbouring cells so nutrients and wastes can pass.
Does the slide show compact or spongy bone?
The Ts Bone Tissue slide is described as a transverse section of bone tissue, without naming the bone type as compact or spongy. Contact us before ordering if your practical needs this confirmed.
How does a transverse section differ from a longitudinal one?
A transverse cut, as on the Ts Bone Tissue slide, shows each osteon as a set of rings around a central canal. A longitudinal cut would instead show the canals as long, parallel channels running along the length of the bone.
Why is bone called a connective tissue?
Bone, the tissue on the Ts Bone Tissue slide, is a connective tissue because it consists of cells scattered in an extracellular matrix. In bone that matrix is hardened with minerals, which is what gives the skeleton its strength.
Who supplies the Ts Bone Tissue slide?
The Ts Bone Tissue slide (SCL446/0169) is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd, which trades as ScienceLab and is based in Ambala, Haryana, India, for schools and colleges in India and international markets.
What information is needed for a quotation or export order?
For a quotation or export order for the Ts Bone Tissue slide, provide the product code SCL446/0169, the quantity and the delivery city or country. Adding the rest of your connective tissue list to the same enquiry saves time.
