Ts Of Dicot Root
Ts Of Dicot Root (Product Code: SCL472/0151) is a microscope slide carrying a transverse section of a dicotyledonous root, used to teach how roots are built to absorb and conduct water in plant anatomy classes. Unlike a stem, the root has xylem and phloem in separate, alternating strands arranged like wheel spokes, and students learn this radial pattern on a clear borosilicate glass slide kept in a white plastic box. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, with its range of prepared microscope slides.

What Is the Dicot Root Section Slide Used For?
On the section, students trace the epiblema (the outer layer that bears root hairs), a wide parenchymatous cortex, a distinct endodermis with thickened Casparian strips, the pericycle and the central vascular cylinder. The xylem is exarch, meaning the oldest xylem lies towards the outside, and the pith is small or missing. Asking students why a root needs a well-developed endodermis connects structure with water uptake.
Placed beside a monocot root, the slide highlights how the number of xylem strands and the size of the pith differ between the two groups. After viewing, return it to its plastic box and clean it with lens tissue only; it is a reliable teaching aid for plant anatomy units in school biology lab equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the main features of the Ts Of Dicot Root section?
The Ts Of Dicot Root slide shows radial vascular bundles with exarch xylem, a prominent endodermis and pericycle, a wide parenchymatous cortex and a small or absent pith. These are the points examiners usually expect students to label.
How does a dicot root section differ from a dicot stem section?
In the Ts Of Dicot Root slide, xylem and phloem lie on different radii as separate strands. In a dicot stem they sit together in conjoint bundles arranged in a ring, which is why the two slides are often compared in one lesson.
How does the Ts Of Dicot Root slide differ from a monocot root?
A dicot root, as on the Ts Of Dicot Root slide, has fewer xylem strands and little or no pith. A monocot root has many xylem strands arranged around a large central pith, so the two are easy to tell apart side by side.
What is the Ts Of Dicot Root slide made of?
The Ts Of Dicot Root slide is made of clear borosilicate glass and is stored in a white, rectangular plastic box. Our listing does not state the plant species or the stain, so please ask through our contact page if your practical needs those details.
Who supplies the Ts Of Dicot Root slide?
The Ts Of Dicot Root slide is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, trading as ScienceLab, from Ambala, Haryana, India, to schools, colleges and distributors in India and international markets.
How do we request a quotation for several dicot root slides?
