To the category: Prepared slides / Advance series
The SIGETA ADVANCE Biology 10-11 Microscope kit includes sufficient ammount materials for illustrating the general principles of living organisms. You will find slides with the stages of mitosis in plant and animal cells, meiosis, sexual reproduction of paramecium, etc.
Different bacteria are also immortalised on the specimen glasses - including bacteria that are better off not being encountered in normal life, such as the pathogens of botulism, meningitis and pneumonia. Additionally, the specimen box also contains 5 blank specimen and cover glasses for making extra slides. By using the preparations in the Biology 10-11 set, it is possible this way to show the students explicit examples and illustrate the school material in the most meaningful way possible.
The prepared micro slides are immersed in non-water-soluble environment and are arranged on regular specimen glasses ( cover glasses are used). They also have a labelling with a consecutive number and a name in Latin.
The slices are as thin as possible, one cell layer and have all the taxonomic characters. The slides are painted with stable dyes not damaging the structure of the object, but, conversely, emphasising it. On each slide, the subject is placed exactly in the centre of the slide.
Set of microslides is packed in a wooden box with slots for slides. Preservation period of slides is not limited, micro slides are cleaned from impurities, have clear contours and are appropriate for use with school microscopes and magnifiers.
