product overview
The Amphioxus T.S. slide is a precisely prepared laboratory-grade transverse section of the lancelet, designed to reveal the intricate internal structure of chordate tissues. The specimen is carefully sectioned to preserve the organization of somites, notochord, nerve cord, and pharyngeal structures, offering clear visualization of body segmentation and internal anatomical features. Mounted securely under a cover slip, the slide ensures the tissue section remains intact and maintains staining quality for consistent observation. Staining techniques enhance contrast between different tissue types, making cellular boundaries and specialized structures distinguishable under high-magnification microscopy. Each slide is meticulously prepared to provide uniform thickness, optimal clarity, and structural fidelity, facilitating examination of tissue morphology, arrangement, and intercellular relationships. The Amphioxus T.S. slide serves as a high-quality, ready-to-use specimen for researchers, educators, and microscopy enthusiasts interested in detailed chordate anatomy. Proper handling and storage preserve slide integrity, ensuring long-term usability and repeated examination. This slide provides a reliable platform for detailed microscopic observation, supporting accurate study of chordate tissue organization and internal anatomical features essential for understanding evolutionary and biological processes.
FAQs
