Product Overview
The T.S ACONITE ROOT – PHARMACY-PHARMACOGONOSY CHART is a meticulously prepared transverse section visualization tool, essential for advanced pharmacognosy and botanical research. This chart presents a high-fidelity representation of Aconite root’s internal anatomy, including vascular bundles, cortex, pith, and secondary growth layers, all labeled with scientific precision. Manufactured on durable, UV-resistant laminated paper, it ensures long-term clarity without yellowing or distortion, even under frequent lab use. The A3 dimensions provide an optimal balance between detail visibility and workspace efficiency, making it suitable for both individual study and group demonstrations. Unlike generic botanical illustrations, this pharmacognosy-grade chart adheres to academic standards, with color accuracy validated against fresh specimen references. The lamination not only protects against moisture and chemical spills common in lab environments but also allows for annotation with dry-erase markers. Designed in collaboration with pharmacognosy educators, the chart emphasizes critical diagnostic features like starch grain distribution and alkaloid-localized tissues, which are often overlooked in standard textbooks. Its lightweight yet rigid construction enables easy mounting on lab walls or storage in flat files without curling. For researchers requiring consistent visual references, this chart eliminates variability introduced by fresh specimen degradation, offering a permanent benchmark for comparative studies.
FAQs
1. What type of lamination is used to protect the T.S Aconite Root chart from lab chemicals?
The chart features a synthetic polymer lamination that resists mild acids, alcohols, and alkaline solutions typically used in pharmacognosy labs. For prolonged exposure to harsh solvents, we recommend storing the chart in a protective sleeve when not in use.
2. Can this chart be used as a replacement for fresh Aconite root sections in practical exams?
While the chart provides an accurate visual reference for structural identification, most academic institutions require hands-on experience with fresh or preserved specimens for practical examinations. This chart serves as an supplementary tool for pre-lab study and post-analysis verification.
3. How does the color accuracy of this chart compare to actual Aconite root sections under a microscope?
The chart’s color palette is calibrated against stained Aconite root sections viewed under standard laboratory microscopes. We use a 6-color printing process to replicate the subtle variations in xylem, phloem, and parenchyma tissues, though slight differences may occur due to individual microscope lighting conditions.
4. Are there any storage precautions to prevent the chart edges from peeling over time?
Store the chart flat in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight. Avoid rolling or folding, as this can stress the lamination. For long-term storage, place between acid-free boards or in a portfolio case to maintain edge integrity.
5. Does this chart include annotations for alkaloid-containing tissues specific to Aconite?
Yes, the chart highlights key alkaloid-localized regions such as the secondary phloem and cortical parenchyma with discrete labeling. These annotations are cross-referenced with standard pharmacognosy textbooks to ensure alignment with curriculum requirements.
