Product Overview

The Anabaena W.M. Algae slide provides a carefully prepared whole mount of this filamentous cyanobacteria, enabling clear observation of its cellular and filament structures. The slide highlights both vegetative cells and heterocysts, showing nitrogen-fixing regions clearly. Staining enhances the visibility of cell walls and internal contents, while maintaining the natural filamentous arrangement for precise microscopic study. This laboratory-grade slide ensures high clarity and durability, allowing repeated use without degradation. The mounting medium stabilizes the specimen, preventing distortion and preserving cellular integrity. It is suitable for standard optical microscopes, providing detailed insights into the unique morphology of Anabaena. Each slide is quality-checked to ensure consistency, sharpness, and proper alignment of filaments, making it reliable for detailed cellular observation. The slide effectively showcases the interconnected filaments, heterocysts, and vegetative cells, allowing users to study cyanobacterial structure and arrangement with high precision. The preparation adheres to strict laboratory standards, ensuring that the slide maintains its clarity, staining quality, and structural accuracy, offering an excellent tool for observing cyanobacteria morphology under a microscope.
