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.

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.
Is the plant species named for the Ts Of Dicot Leaf slide?
Our listing for the Ts Of Dicot Leaf slide does not name the plant species or the stain used. If your practical manual refers to a particular leaf, please ask through our contact page before ordering.
