Phytology and Zoology Microscope Prepared Slides

Captured at 400x magnification, this fern gametophyte was captured using the National Optical DC5-163 digital biological microscope. A fern gametophyte is formed when the spore wall cracks under appropriate moist conditions. The fern gametophyte is the intermediate stage from the spore to adult fern, and has only half the genetic material of the adult fern.

Also captured at 400x magnification with a digital microscope, this image of hydrodictyon is known as water net. Hydrodictyon can be found in clean, nutrient-dense water, sometimes overwhelming lakes, irrigation ditches and even rice fields.

These are a few examples of the phytology and zoology prepared microscope slide kit that can be purchased from Microscope World.

Human Anatomy Microscope Slides

The above image is smooth muscle, captured at 400x magnification with the DC5-163 digital microscope. Smooth muscle is a type of non-striated muscle, found within the walls of hollow organs and in areas such as the bladder, uterus, abdominal cavity, GI tract, respiratory tract and iris of the eye.

Human artery, vein and part of a nerve, captured at 400x magnification with the DC5-163 microscope. Arteries are muscular blood vessels that carry blood away from the heart. A vein is a blood vessel that carries blood toward the heart. A nerve is an enclosed, cable-like bundle of axons (the long, slender projection of a neuron).

The Human Anatomy and Bacteriology Prepared Slide Kit contains nine different prepared slides relating to bacteria and human anatomy.
