Prepared slides--Diatoms slide, freshwater, w.m. 400*magnification

slide has good staining, clear structure, low price and good customer service.

Diatoms are yellow-green algae that have cell walls made of silicon dioxide, the main component in glass, which gives them a brittle structure. You can see small oil spots that are stored food: rather than storing extra food in vacuoles, diatoms convert it to oil.

We professionally manufacture top-quality prepared microscope slides ranging from unicellular life to botany and anatomy for education since the year 1958. All our microscope slides are hand-prepared by professionals, usually with multiple stains and specimens that are hand-selected and arranged on the slide to show the greatest detail. Use 40-1000x magnification to view.

Slide abbreviations: "l.s." stands for longitudinal section, "sec.." for section, "t.s." for transversal section.
