Product Overview
This meticulously designed pharmacognosy chart provides a comprehensive visual reference for the microscopical characteristics of powdered Isapgol seed (Plantago ovata). Each structural detail—including epidermal cells, trichomes, starch granules, and vascular bundles—is magnified and labeled with precision to facilitate accurate botanical analysis. The chart adheres to standard pharmacognosy lab requirements, ensuring clarity for educational and research applications. Printed on durable, waterproof laminated paper, it resists wear from frequent handling and exposure to lab conditions. The A3 format offers ample space for high-resolution images and annotations, making it an indispensable tool for pharmacy students, educators, and researchers studying herbal drug identification. The chart’s layout follows systematic pharmacognostic conventions, allowing seamless integration into practical lab sessions or theoretical studies. Its laboratory-grade accuracy eliminates ambiguity in microscopic evaluations, supporting reliable academic and experimental outcomes.
FAQs
1. What magnification level is used for the Isapgol seed images on this chart?
The chart features images captured at standard pharmacognosy magnification ranges (typically 100x–400x) to highlight critical diagnostic features of the powdered drug.
2. Can this chart be used for identifying adulterants in Isapgol seed powder?
Yes, the detailed microscopical markers provided help distinguish pure Isapgol seed powder from common adulterants by comparing cellular structures and inclusions.
3. Is this chart compatible with digital microscopy software for annotation?
While designed as a physical reference, the high-resolution images can be scanned or photographed for digital analysis, though direct software integration isn’t supported.
4. How should this chart be stored to prevent damage in humid lab environments?
Store flat in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight. The laminated surface protects against moisture, but prolonged exposure to high humidity should be avoided.
5. Are there alternative charts available for other medicinal seeds in this series?
This specific chart focuses solely on Isapgol seed. For other botanical drugs, check our pharmacognosy chart collection for complementary references like Senna or Digitalis.
