Applications and Experiments for the Specimen Preparation Kit
The kit is used to turn raw plant and animal material into slides: the microtome and scalpels cut thin sections, the tweezers and spatula transfer them, and the needles spread and orient tissue before mounting. It suits section-cutting practicals in Class 11–12 biology and B.Sc. botany, zoology and histology courses.
- Class 11–12 biology: transverse sections of stems, roots and leaves cut with the hand microtome, then examined under the Biological Microscope.
- B.Sc. botany: comparing monocot and dicot tissue in freshly cut sections, covered with 20 x 20 mm Lamella cover slips.
- B.Sc. zoology and teacher training: separating small tissues and transferring stained material between watch glasses with the spatula.
The microtome, scalpels and scissors have sharp edges; use them under supervision and keep blades covered when not in use.
Standard Scope of Supply

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the hand scalpel microtome used for?
It holds plant or animal material so that very thin, even sections can be cut with a blade. These sections are thin enough for light to pass through when they are mounted on a slide and viewed under a microscope.
Why does the kit contain four types of tweezers?
Straight, curved, round and blunt tips each handle material differently, from lifting a thin section without tearing it to gripping firmer tissue. Three are 120 mm long and the blunt-end pair is 105 mm.
Who supplies the Kit for the Preparation of Preparations?
Science Lab Supplies supplies it from Ambala, India, to schools, colleges and distributors. The kit can be ordered singly or in class quantities, together with slides, cover slips and stains.
