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.

Muscle Under the Microscope

The above image is human smooth muscle under a microscope at 400x magnification. This image was captured with a Canon SLR digital camera using the CSLR microscope camera adapter on the 163 compound microscope.

Smooth muscle is a type of non-striated muscle. Striated muscle refers to a muscle fiber that is formed into parallel fibers, most often found in skeletal and cardiac muscle. The image above is non-striated muscle and is 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. The smooth muscle prepared slide is included in the Anatomy and Bacteria ESK1 slide kit.
