Animal Tissue Teaching Slide

Quick Answer: The Animal Tissue Teaching Slide is a ready-mounted microscope slide showing a prepared section of animal tissue, supplied for classroom histology and zoology microscopy work rather than as a blank slide.

Product Description

This slide is intended for schools, colleges and university biology and zoology departments running histology or general animal-tissue practicals. Because the section is already cut, fixed, stained and mounted, class time can go into observation, drawing and labelling rather than specimen preparation, which suits supervised practical sessions with limited lab time.

The exact animal species, organ or tissue type, staining method and mounting medium used on this particular listing have not been independently confirmed by LabEquip, so we have not invented figures for them here. If your syllabus requires a specific tissue type (for example epithelial, connective or muscle tissue), please confirm availability with our sales team before ordering.

Specifications

Care & Maintenance

• Handle the slide by its edges only; avoid touching the cover slip area with bare fingers.
• Store flat in a slide tray or slide box, away from direct sunlight and moisture, to protect the mounted specimen and stain.
• Do not stack slides directly on top of each other without spacers, as this can chip the cover slip.
• Discard any cracked or chipped slide safely according to your institution’s glass-disposal procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a prepared microscope slide? It is a specimen that has already been sectioned, fixed, stained and mounted onto a glass slide, ready to view under a microscope without further preparation.

What animal tissue type does this slide show? The exact tissue type, organ and species are not specified in this listing. Please confirm with our sales team if your syllabus requires a particular tissue type.

What magnification do I need to view this slide? A standard compound microscope with a 10x eyepiece and 10x-40x objective lenses is enough to see the general tissue organisation; higher-power objectives reveal finer cellular detail.

How should I store and handle the slide? Handle it by the edges only, store it flat in a slide tray or box away from moisture and direct sunlight, and avoid stacking slides without spacers.

Is this suitable for college or university use, or only schools? Prepared tissue slides like this are used across school, college and university biology and zoology courses for introductory histology practicals.
