Product Overview

The Dicot Stem L.S. (Longitudinal Section) prepared slide provides a detailed and precise representation of the internal structure of dicotyledonous stems, emphasizing vascular bundle arrangement, xylem and phloem organization, and supporting tissues. The specimen is carefully sectioned along the longitudinal axis and mounted using high-quality mounting mediums and cover glass, ensuring long-lasting clarity and minimal distortion. Laboratory-grade preparation guarantees optimal optical performance, allowing for accurate observation of stem anatomy under various magnifications. The slide reveals key structural features, including the epidermis, cortex, vascular bundles, pith, and supporting sclerenchymatous tissues. The meticulous mounting preserves the orientation and natural arrangement of the tissues, enabling clear visualization of cellular and tissue-level organization. Compatible with brightfield and compound microscopes, the slide allows for detailed observation of cell walls, intercellular spaces, and the differentiation between primary and secondary growth regions. Its durable construction ensures repeated usability for extended microscopic studies, highlighting features such as vascular continuity, fiber arrangement, and pith composition. The slide’s high-quality preparation allows researchers, students, and educators to examine dicot stem anatomy in fine detail, providing accurate insights into tissue organization and structural relationships essential for botanical studies and comparative plant research.

1. What magnification is suitable for observing Dicot Stem L.S. slides?

Optimal magnification ranges from 100x to 400x to view vascular bundles, xylem, phloem, and supporting tissues clearly.

2. How should this slide be stored to maintain quality?

Store in a dry, dust-free environment, away from direct sunlight and high humidity to preserve the specimen and mounting medium.

3. Is the slide compatible with digital microscopes?

Yes, the slide works with both optical and digital microscopes for detailed imaging and analysis of stem tissues.

4. Are there alternative slides for comparison of stem tissues?

Yes, alternatives like Monocot Stem L.S., Dicot Root L.S., and Sclerenchyma slides can be used for comparative studies.

5. How is the Dicot Stem specimen prepared and sourced?

The stem tissue is longitudinally sectioned, fixed, and mounted using laboratory-grade techniques to ensure clear visualization of cellular structures and tissue organization.
