product overview
The Volvox Antheridia preserved specimen is meticulously prepared to maintain the structural integrity of the colonies and their male reproductive organs. Laboratory-grade preservation ensures each antheridium remains clearly distinguishable, along with individual cells and the overall spherical arrangement of the colony. The mounting medium stabilizes the specimen, preventing deformation while retaining natural organization. Protective packaging safeguards it during storage and transit, preserving morphology for repeated analysis. This specimen allows detailed observation of antheridial placement, colony formation, and cell organization, supporting accurate study of reproductive structures and colony morphology. Long-lasting preservation and intact cellular structures make it a reliable addition to any laboratory collection focused on algal reproductive anatomy. Ready-to-use format ensures immediate microscopic examination without additional preparation, providing consistent visibility and stable observation of antheridia and surrounding colony architecture. Its high-quality preservation allows researchers to closely study male reproductive structures and their arrangement within the Volvox colony, facilitating precise documentation, comparison, and detailed microscopic analysis. The specimen remains stable over time, ensuring it can be used multiple times without compromising quality or structural integrity.
FAQs
