Product Overview
This pharmacognosy chart provides detailed microscopical characteristics of powdered cinnamon bark, specifically designed for pharmacy and pharmacognosy laboratory applications. The chart features high-resolution microscopic images with labeled diagnostic features including starch grains, calcium oxalate crystals, fibers, and other cellular structures unique to cinnamon bark. Each characteristic is clearly annotated with measurements and distinguishing features to facilitate accurate identification during practical examinations. The waterproof laminated surface ensures durability in laboratory environments while maintaining image clarity. This educational reference tool is particularly valuable for pharmacy students and researchers conducting qualitative analysis of herbal drugs. The chart follows standard pharmacognostical parameters and includes comparative visual references to aid in differential diagnosis of powdered plant materials. The A4 size format allows for easy handling and reference during laboratory sessions.
FAQs
1. What magnification levels are represented on this cinnamon bark pharmacognosy chart?
The chart includes microscopic images at standard pharmacognosy magnification levels typically ranging from 100x to 400x, covering all essential diagnostic features visible at these magnifications.
2. Can this chart be used for identifying cinnamon bark adulterants?
While primarily focused on genuine cinnamon bark characteristics, the chart includes comparative features that can help identify common adulterants when used alongside other reference materials.
3. Is this chart suitable for undergraduate pharmacy practical examinations?
Yes, the chart is designed to meet the requirements of undergraduate pharmacy curricula, covering all essential microscopical features typically examined in pharmacognosy practical sessions.
4. How should this pharmacognosy chart be stored to maintain its quality?
Store the chart flat in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. The laminated surface provides protection, but avoid folding or exposing to sharp objects that could damage the protective coating.
5. Does this chart include both transverse and longitudinal sections of cinnamon bark?
The chart primarily focuses on powdered drug characteristics, but includes representative images of both transverse and longitudinal sections where relevant to the identification of powdered material.
