Ts Of Dicot Stem (Product Code: SCL471/0150) is a microscope slide showing a transverse section of a dicotyledonous stem, used to teach the internal plan of a young stem in botany practicals. Its key teaching feature is the ring of vascular bundles around a central pith, which separates a dicot stem from a monocot stem; the section sits on clear borosilicate glass in a white rectangular plastic box. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, for users of botany lab equipment.

Working from the outside in, students identify the epidermis, the hypodermis and cortex, the endodermis, the pericycle, the ring of vascular bundles and the pith at the centre. Each bundle is conjoint and collateral, with phloem towards the outside, xylem towards the centre, and a strip of cambium between them that later allows the stem to thicken. Drawing a labelled sector of the section is a common exam-style task, and the slide gives every student the same clear example.
The slide is most useful next to a monocot stem section, so students can spot the ring-versus-scattered bundle arrangement for themselves. Store it flat in its box, wipe the glass with lens tissue when needed, and keep it out of direct sunlight; it remains a core item of plant anatomy teaching in any biology lab in India.
ScienceLab is the name under which Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, Ambala, Haryana, supplies educational laboratories in India and international markets with prepared slides, charts and apparatus. Read our company profile for more.

Which tissues can students identify on the Ts Of Dicot Stem slide?
On the Ts Of Dicot Stem slide students normally look for the epidermis, hypodermis, cortex, endodermis, pericycle, a ring of vascular bundles with xylem, phloem and cambium, and a central pith. How clearly each layer shows depends on the section.
How can students tell a dicot stem section from a monocot stem?
Look at the vascular bundles. On the Ts Of Dicot Stem slide they form a ring and contain cambium, while a monocot stem section shows many scattered bundles without cambium. Viewing both slides in one session makes the difference easy to remember.
Which plant is the dicot stem section taken from?
Our listing for the Ts Of Dicot Stem slide does not name the species. If your syllabus specifies a plant such as sunflower, please mention it through our contact page and we will tell you what we can supply.
What are the Ts Of Dicot Stem slide and box made of?
The Ts Of Dicot Stem slide is clear borosilicate glass, and it is stored in a white, rectangular plastic box. The box keeps dust off the section and protects the glass from scratches between practicals.
Who supplies the Ts Of Dicot Stem slide?
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, which trades as ScienceLab, supplies the Ts Of Dicot Stem slide from Ambala, Haryana, India. It serves schools, colleges and distributors in India and international markets with prepared slides and biology apparatus.
Can the Ts Of Dicot Stem slide be ordered with monocot sections?
Yes. Many labs order the Ts Of Dicot Stem slide together with root and leaf sections of both plant groups. List them all in one enquiry with product code SCL471/0150 and quantities, and we will prepare a combined quotation.
