#65124 – Prepared slides SIGETA ENTRANCE Tissues of plant organisms (12 pcs.)

You think that the cutting of the plant's stem should be round? But not necessarily: the stem of a lufa (sponge gourd) has a star-shaped cross-section.

You think that lotus flowers are grown only for beauty? Well, no: the most valuable part of the lotus is its underwater root: it is consumed in many Asian countries. There is even a monument to it (the root!) in one of the Chinese provinces.

In the Plant Tissue Microscope slide kit, you'll find prepared slices of plants - both those familiar to us from childhood and exotic ones - prepared for study. The specimens are arranged on unbreakable transparent plastic plates; the slide is signed with a pictogram depicting the subject.
