Ts Of Monocot Leaf (Product Code: SCL477/0155) is a prepared slide of a monocotyledonous leaf cut in transverse section, used to show learners how a grass-type leaf differs from the broad leaf of a dicot. Teachers use it as one of their biology teaching aids for plant anatomy, and students practise identifying and drawing leaf tissues on its clear borosilicate glass. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, in a white rectangular plastic box.

Monocot leaves are isobilateral: both surfaces are similar and the mesophyll is not split into palisade and spongy layers. On this section students look for stomata on both epidermal surfaces, groups of large, thin-walled bulliform (motor) cells in the upper epidermis that help the leaf roll up when water is short, and a row of parallel vascular bundles, each surrounded by a bundle sheath.
The most effective lesson places this slide beside a dicot leaf section so learners can list the differences in a two-column table. Scan from one edge of the section to the other at low power to count the vascular bundles before switching to high power for the bulliform cells. When the practical ends, clean the glass with dry lens tissue and return it to its box.

Which features mark the Ts Of Monocot Leaf section as a monocot leaf?
On the Ts Of Monocot Leaf slide, look for similar upper and lower surfaces, mesophyll that is not divided into palisade and spongy layers, bulliform cells in the upper epidermis and a row of parallel vascular bundles with bundle sheaths.
Why do both surfaces of the monocot leaf section look alike?
Many monocot leaves grow upright, so light falls on both sides and the tissues on each surface develop in a similar way. That is why the Ts Of Monocot Leaf slide shows stomata on both epidermal surfaces and no distinct palisade layer.
Is the Ts Of Monocot Leaf slide sold singly or in a pack?
Our listing describes the Ts Of Monocot Leaf slide with its white plastic storage box but does not state a pack quantity. Tell us how many slides you need through our contact page and we will quote for that number.
How should the Ts Of Monocot Leaf slide be cleaned?
Wipe the clear borosilicate glass of the Ts Of Monocot Leaf slide gently with dry lens tissue. Do not soak it or scrub the section area, and keep it in its plastic box whenever it is not on the microscope stage.
