Product Code : SCL-BLE-11679
Monocotyledons and Dicotyledons, Roots, Cross Sections (SKU SCL-BLE-11679) is a coloured prepared slide carrying transverse sections of a monocot root and a dicot root, so students can compare the internal anatomy of the two groups on one slide. It is used in plant anatomy practicals in senior secondary biology and B.Sc. botany. The slide is offered by Science Lab Supplies, which serves schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors from Ambala, India.
Specifications
The monocot and dicot root slide is specified line by line in the table. In a sentence, it is a coloured preparation of both root sections on a rectangular borosilicate glass slide of 25.4 x 76.2 mm (1 x 3 inches), supplied in a plastic box for storage.

Applications and Experiments for the Monocot and Dicot Root Slide
The slide is used to tell monocot and dicot roots apart by their internal structure. Students trace the epidermis, cortex, endodermis and pericycle in both, then compare the vascular tissue: a dicot root has few xylem groups and little pith, while a monocot root has many xylem groups around a large pith.
- NCERT Class 11, Anatomy of Flowering Plants: transverse sections of dicot and monocot roots.
- Class 11–12 practical examinations: identifying a root section and giving reasons for the identification.
- B.Sc. botany anatomy practicals: labelled drawings at low and high power on a Student Biological Microscopes model.
- Comparing prepared sections with hand sections that students cut using the scalpel and needles in a Microscopy Accessory Kit.
Standard Scope of Supply
One coloured slide with monocot and dicot root cross sections on 25.4 x 76.2 mm borosilicate glass is supplied, held in a plastic box. Charts, models and microscopes for the same lesson are sold separately and can be placed on the same quotation.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
You are free to order a single root slide or one for every microscope in the botany lab. Science Lab Supplies replies with a quotation listing the packing, delivery time and price for that quantity, and matching stem and leaf slides can be quoted on the same sheet.
Holding a valid Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Peru, Egypt, Iraq, Nigeria, Kenya and Ghana.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do monocot and dicot roots differ on this slide?
Both show epidermis, cortex, endodermis and pericycle, but the vascular tissue differs. The dicot root has a small number of xylem groups and little or no pith, whereas the monocot root has many xylem groups arranged around a well-developed pith.
Why are both sections placed on one slide?
Having the two roots together lets students switch between them without changing slides, which makes direct comparison quicker and helps them record the differences in a single table during the practical.
Who supplies the Monocotyledons and Dicotyledons, Roots, Cross Sections slide?
The slide is supplied from Ambala, India by Science Lab Supplies. It can be quoted together with root models, anatomy charts and microscopes, so a botany department receives every item for the topic in one shipment.
Can it be quoted for a school or college tender?
Yes. Send the tender specification and quantities, and Science Lab Supplies will provide an item-wise quotation, with packing and delivery stated, for this and other biology lab equipment in India or for export.
