Am PS50A Prepared Micro Slide Set for Basic Biological Science Education, 50 Biology and Pathology Slides, Includes Fitted Wooden Case

The Am PS50A micro slide set includes 50 prepared slides of a variety of biology and pathology slides used in basic biology education. The samples are preserved in cedar wood oil and sealed with a coverslip to preserve specimens and prevent contamination. Labeling on each slide identifies specimens. Slides are composed of optical glass for clear viewing and are 3 x 1 x 0.4 inches/75 x 25 x 1mm (H x W x D, where H is height, the vertical distance from the lowest to highest point; W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right; D is depth, the horizontal distance from front to back.) The set comes in a fitted wooden case to prevent breakage and ease handling.

Set A slide specimens include aid egg (whole ), Aspergillus (whole ), cabbage (Hydrilla verticillata, longitudinal section), coprinus mushroom set (cross section), cotton stem (cross section), Cucurbita stem (longitudinal section), dandelion fuzz (whole ), dense connective tissue (section), dog cardiac muscle (longitudinal section), dog esophagus (cross section), dog skeletal muscle (longitudinal and cross section), dog small intestine (section), dog smooth muscle (longitudinal and cross section), dog squamous epithelium (whole ), dog stomach (section), earthworm (cross section), honeybee leg (whole ), honeybee mouth parts (whole ), honeybee wings (whole ), housefly mouth parts (whole ), human blood (smear), hydra (longitudinal section), Hydrilla verticillata leaf (whole ), leaf of winter jasmine (cross section), Lilium anther (cross section), Lilium ovary (cross section), locust wing (whole ), loose connective tissue (whole ), mantis wing (whole ), nymphasa (spongy tissue) (cross section), nymphasa aqustio stem (cross section), onion epidermis (whole ), penicillium (whole ), pig motor nerve (whole ), pine leaf (cross section), pine (whole ), pine stem (cross section), pumpkin stem (cross section), rabbit artery and vein (cross section), rabbit hyaline cartilage (section), rabbit lymph node (section), rabbit spinal cord (cross section), rabbit testis (section), stomata-vicia faba leaf (whole ), sunflower stem (cross section), Tilia stem (cross section), wool sheep (whole ), young root of broad bean (cross section), Zea stem (cross section), Zea stem (longitudinal section),

Micros are instruments used to enhance the resolution of an object or image. Types include compound, stereo, or digital. Compound micros use a compound optical system with an objective lens and an eyepiece. Stereo micros show object depth in a three-dimensional image. Digital micros are used to display an image on a monitor, rather than looking through a lens. Micros can have monocular (one), binocular (two), or trinocular (three) eyepieces, with varying magnification abilities. Magnification ability refers to the size of an image. Resolution, also known as resolvant power, refers to the clarity of the image. The interaction between field of view (FOV), numerical aperture (NA), and working distance (WD) determines resolution. Micros can control magnification through a fixed focus, or through a range of adjustments. They can also utilize LED, fluorescent, and mirror light sources to help control viewing capabilities. Micros are widely used in education, lab research, biology, metallurgy, engineering, chemistry, manufacturing, and in the medical, forensic science, and veterinary industries.
