Product Overview
The Chlamydomonas W.M. slide is a meticulously prepared laboratory-grade whole mount specimen designed to display the cellular structure and motility apparatus of Chlamydomonas algae. The slide preserves the integrity of individual cells, highlighting their flagella, chloroplasts, and cytoplasmic structures for detailed observation. The preparation ensures optimal contrast, enabling clear visualization of the cup-shaped chloroplast, nucleus, and pyrenoid, along with the anterior flagella. Mounted on a durable glass slide, the specimen allows for repeated microscopic examination without degradation over time. The slide provides consistent thickness across the mounting medium, facilitating even focus and enhanced clarity throughout the viewing area. Its laboratory-grade quality ensures long-term usability and accurate representation of Chlamydomonas cellular morphology. Researchers, educators, and students can explore the structural features of this unicellular green algae, including motility mechanisms and organelle arrangement. The slide’s preparation maintains cell orientation and prevents distortion, ensuring reliable observation of cellular details. It is suitable for prolonged storage and repeated laboratory use, providing a dependable tool for scientific observation and study of Chlamydomonas morphology under light microscopy.
