Product Overview
The Foraminifera Shell slide is a laboratory-grade whole mount slide prepared to deliver detailed microscopic examination of foraminiferal shells. This slide presents the complex architecture of single-celled marine organisms with multi-chambered calcium carbonate shells, providing clear visibility of chamber arrangement, shell perforations, and surface ornamentation. The whole mount preparation ensures that the delicate structure is preserved and remains stable under repeated observation. Mounted using a high-quality medium and secured with a durable cover slip, the slide maintains optical clarity while protecting the specimen from damage. The detailed presentation of shell morphology allows precise analysis of shape, chamber connectivity, and surface patterns, essential for studies in micropaleontology, marine biology, and comparative morphology. The slide’s quality ensures minimal optical distortion, providing consistent visualization of fine details across the entire specimen. Its long-lasting mounting and laboratory-grade preparation make it ideal for repeated examinations, teaching demonstrations, and research-focused observation. The Foraminifera Shell slide allows users to study the intricate patterns and natural variations in shell formation, offering reliable performance and clear identification of structural features for accurate microscopic analysis.
1. What magnification is recommended for viewing this slide?
High-power objectives (40x–100x) are ideal to observe detailed shell structure and chamber arrangement clearly.
2. How should the slide be stored to ensure longevity?
Store in a dry, dust-free slide box, away from direct sunlight and excessive humidity to maintain specimen clarity.
3. Are there alternative slides for comparative shell studies?
Yes, related slides include Radiolaria, Diatom Frustules, and other Foraminifera species for comparative morphology analysis.
4. Can this slide be used repeatedly for multiple observations?
Yes, the whole mount and durable mounting medium allow repeated use without compromising specimen integrity.
5. What type of mounting medium is used for this slide?
A laboratory-grade mounting medium is used to preserve shell structure and provide long-term optical clarity.
