Product Overview
The Filoplume Feather slide provides a meticulously prepared laboratory specimen, designed to allow precise observation of the fine structures characteristic of filoplume feathers. These delicate feathers, typically associated with sensory and tactile functions in birds, are displayed with clarity, showcasing intricate barbules, shaft morphology, and microstructural features. The specimen is carefully fixed and mounted on high-quality glass to prevent damage and ensure durability, offering long-term usability. A specialized mounting medium is used to maintain feather integrity, avoiding distortion or air bubbles that could interfere with microscopic analysis. The slide preparation emphasizes high contrast, enabling easy visualization of subtle microstructures under a standard compound microscope. Quality control ensures uniformity across the slide, allowing researchers and students to observe consistent and accurate feather morphology. The Filoplume Feather slide is suitable for detailed examination of feather structure, fine barbs, and overall arrangement, providing a reliable, lab-grade tool for microscopic studies. Expert preparation techniques ensure that the specimen retains its delicate features and clarity, making it a valuable addition for laboratories, researchers, and enthusiasts who require a high-quality observation specimen for avian feather analysis and microstructural studies.
