Ts Root Tip Onion
Ts Root Tip Onion (Product Code: SCL470/0149) is a microscope slide carrying a transverse section of an onion root tip, used to study actively dividing cells in cell biology practicals. Onion roots are standard teaching material for cell division because they grow quickly and have relatively large chromosomes, and this section is mounted on clear borosilicate glass kept in a white rectangular plastic box. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, for schools and colleges that use prepared microscope slides.

What Is the Onion Root Tip Slide Used For?
The root tip holds the meristem, so a section through it catches many cells at different points in the cell cycle. Students look for nuclei with visible chromosomes, compare them with cells still in interphase, then sketch and label what they find. Because a transverse section cuts across the root, it also shows how tightly packed and thin-walled the young meristematic cells are.
Teachers often run this slide next to a root-tip squash that the class prepares with acetocarmine, so students can judge their own preparation against a clean reference. Hold the slide by its edges, clean it with lens tissue and return it to the box after use; it is a practical addition to the cell biology equipment of school and college labs in India.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is onion root tip used for studying cell division?
Onion roots grow quickly from a bulb, their tips contain many dividing cells, and the chromosomes are large enough to see with a school microscope. That is why the Ts Root Tip Onion slide is a standard reference for mitosis lessons in schools and colleges.
Is Ts Root Tip Onion a transverse section or a squash?
As its name states, Ts Root Tip Onion is a transverse section of the root tip, not a squash. To follow the successive stages of mitosis more fully, the Mitosis Set or a class-made acetocarmine squash complements this slide well.
Is the section on the Ts Root Tip Onion slide stained?
Our listing for the Ts Root Tip Onion slide does not describe the staining. If your practical requires a particular stain, please ask through our contact page and we will tell you what we can confirm before you order.
What is the Ts Root Tip Onion slide made of?
The Ts Root Tip Onion slide is made of clear borosilicate glass and is stored in a white, rectangular plastic box. Keep it in the box between classes and hold it by the edges to avoid fingerprints on the section.
Who supplies the Ts Root Tip Onion slide?
Jain Scientific Equipments Private Limited, known as ScienceLab, supplies the Ts Root Tip Onion slide from Ambala, Haryana, India. It serves schools, colleges and distributors in India and international markets with prepared slides, stains and biology glassware.
Can you quote for a class set of onion root tip slides?
Yes. For a class set of Ts Root Tip Onion slides, send the product code SCL470/0149, the number of slides and your delivery address, and add acetocarmine or watch glasses if you want the whole mitosis practical quoted together.
