Prepared Microscope Slides — 60 Lab-Grade Specimens for Kids

Product description

Intended use: Sixty prepared microscope slides tailored for science lessons, homeschool units, and general biology study. The assortment covers botanical, zoological, microbiological and histological topics to support a range of curricula and learning goals.

Kit contents and materials: The package contains 60 lab-grade glass slides that have been prepared and mounted for immediate viewing. Slides are made from high-quality glass and mounted using standard specimen-preparation techniques to improve clarity and durability for repeated handling.

Labeling and identification: Each slide is given a color label system to sort by topic area, and specimens are marked with identifying information and magnification suggestions. An illustrated identification chart is included to help users learn more than just the specimen names and to guide lesson plans.

Storage and protection: Slides are stored in a sturdy, organized case that shields them from dust and impact and fits the stage dimensions of most compound, stereo, digital and pocket microscopes. The case keeps slides secured for transport and classroom use.

Age suitability and use: The prepared slides contain examples such as plant sections, animal tissues, bacteria, fungi and cellular samples, making them suitable for teaching, demonstrations and independent investigation. Recommended for curious children (roughly ages 8–12) and adult learners.
