Human Blood Smear WBC Slide

Quick Answer: The Human Blood Smear WBC Slide is a prepared microscope slide used to study white blood cells (leukocytes) within a stained human blood smear. It supports biology and health-science lessons on blood-cell appearance and microscope observation technique.

Product Description

A blood smear spreads a thin layer of blood across a slide so individual cells can be examined under a microscope. White blood cells contain a visible nucleus and can be distinguished from the more numerous red blood cells, making this prepared slide useful for teaching basic blood-cell morphology and practising systematic microscopic observation without requiring students to collect or prepare fresh blood samples.

Care & Maintenance

• Store the slide flat in a clean, dry slide box or tray, away from direct sunlight and humidity.
• Handle the slide by its edges only, to avoid fingerprints or pressure on the coverslip area.
• Do not scrape, lift or apply pressure directly to the mounted specimen or coverslip.
• Clean only the exterior glass surfaces with a soft lens tissue; avoid solvents near the mounting medium.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Human Blood Smear WBC Slide used for?
It is used to study white blood cells within a stained blood smear under a compound microscope, supporting biology lessons on blood-cell morphology.

Is this a live sample or a fixed, permanent slide?
It is a fixed, permanently mounted specimen slide, not a live blood sample. It is sealed under a coverslip in the standard prepared-slide format and requires no special handling precautions beyond normal glass-slide care.

Which staining method is used, and can I identify specific WBC types?
We have not verified the exact staining method for this listing. Whether individual leukocyte types (such as neutrophils or lymphocytes) are clearly distinguishable will depend on the specific specimen; please confirm with our sales team if this level of detail is required.

What microscope and magnification should I use?
Most classroom compound microscopes with 40x or 100x (oil immersion) objectives are suitable, since individual blood cells are small and best examined at higher magnification.

How should I store and clean this slide?
Store it flat in a slide box away from humidity and direct sunlight, handle it only by the edges, and clean only the exterior glass with a soft lens tissue.

Can LabEquip supply this slide for institutional or tender orders?
Yes. Contact our sales team at [email protected] with your required quantity and any syllabus-specific specimen requirements, and we will confirm exact details before you order.
