Yeast
Yeast (Product Code: SCL457/0180) is a prepared microscope slide of yeast cells, used to show single-celled fungi and asexual reproduction by budding in biology, microbiology and food-science practicals. Because yeast cells are much smaller than most protozoa, the slide also tests microscope technique; it is mounted on clear borosilicate glass and kept in a white rectangular plastic box. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India, alongside its other prepared microscope slides.

What Is the Yeast Slide Used For?
The slide is used to introduce the unicellular side of the fungal kingdom. Yeast cells appear as small round to oval bodies, so students should locate them at low power and then work up through the objectives to the highest magnification their microscope offers; if an oil-immersion objective is fitted, a drop of immersion oil gives the sharpest image. They then look for cells carrying a smaller bud at one side — the sign of budding — and for short chains where buds have stayed attached to the parent cell.
The slide is a natural companion to fermentation practicals in which live yeast is mixed with glucose solution and the gas produced is observed or collected. Afterwards students can compare the prepared specimen with a drop of live suspension stained with methylene blue on a plain slide: living cells decolourise the dye, while dead cells stay blue. For schools assembling cell biology equipment for the fungi topic, the Yeast slide sits well beside Rhizopus and Agaricus, which show multicellular forms.

Items used with this slide in fungi and fermentation lessons:
- Rhizopus — a multicellular mould for contrast with single yeast cells
- Glucose — the sugar used as substrate in live yeast fermentation practicals
- Methylene Blue (Cellulose) — for staining live yeast suspensions to tell living cells from dead ones
- Immersion Oil, 25ml — for oil-immersion objectives when resolving buds on small cells
- Monocular Microscope 1000x, LED light — a microscope with enough magnification for small fungal cells

Frequently Asked Questions
Can yeast cells be seen at low power?
Only as tiny dots. On the Yeast slide, budding and cell detail need high power, and an oil-immersion objective with a drop of immersion oil gives the clearest result. Start at low power to find a well-spread area, then move up through the objectives.
Which yeast species is on the Yeast slide?
The species on the Yeast slide (SCL457/0180) is not named in our current product documentation. Contact us if you need it confirmed for your records or syllabus, and we will check it against the batch you are quoted.
Will budding cells be visible on the Yeast slide?
Budding cells are commonly seen in yeast preparations, but our listing for the Yeast slide does not specify a particular stage. If budding must be visible for an assessment, please ask us to confirm before you order.
Can the Yeast slide be used alongside fermentation experiments?
Yes. The Yeast slide provides a fixed reference image of the cells, while the fermentation experiment itself uses live yeast mixed with a sugar solution such as glucose. Comparing the two helps students connect cell structure with what the organism does.
Who supplies the Yeast slide?
The Yeast slide is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), based in Ambala, Haryana, India. It is mounted on clear borosilicate glass and packed in a white rectangular plastic box; the number of slides per box is confirmed with your quotation.
Can distributors or tender buyers get a quotation for the Yeast slide?
Yes. Provide the code SCL457/0180, the quantity of Yeast slides, the consignee location and any documents your tender requires. ScienceLab supplies India and international markets and can combine the slide with other biology items in one quotation.
