Prepared Slides: Zoology Reptiles and Amphibians Microscope Slides

The images below were captured with the DMBA210 digital biological microscope. These prepared slides are included in the Zoology Reptiles and Amphibians Prepared Slide Kit.

	Tadpole This microscope slide is a tadpole trunk. Tadpoles, also known as polliwogs is the wholly aquatic larval stage in the life cycle of an amphibian, particularly of a frog or toad.		Leech This microscope slide is a cross section of the three regions showing relationships of structures. Leeches are best known for attaching to their host to feed until they become full and fall off.
	Obelia This microscope slide is a whole mount of hydroid colony showing hydranths and gonangia. The walls of the gastrovascular cavity and other structures are well defined in this prepared microscope slide.		SnailRadula Snail Radula, flat mount showing rows of teeth. Learn more about snail's teeth here.
	House Fly The house fly is the most common of all domestic flies, found all over the world. It is considered a pest that can carry serious diseases.		Lizard Skin Lizards are a large group of squamate reptiles, with nearly 3800 species. Learn more about lizards here.
	Fish Gill This microscope slide is a section showing the gill filaments. Fish can pull oxygen from the water and gills help them do this while they are swimming.		Frog Embryonic Stages Frog embryology involves the egg, fertilization, cleavage, and gastrulation. Learn more here.
	Cyclops This microscope slide has male and female whole mount cyclops with egg sacs. Cyclops anthropoda has only one eye, similar to the Greek mythical creature. It carries two sacks of eggs close to its tail. Cyclops are often found swimming in still, fresh water among algae and seldom in the mud.		Amphioxus This microscope slide is a cross section of male through the three regions: anterior, middle, posterior. Amphioxus are generally found buried in sand in shallow parts of temperate or tropical seas.
