Applications and Experiments for the Needle with Handle
Dissecting needles let students separate tissues without cutting them: straight needles tease apart fibres and roots, bent needles reach under structures and lift them, sharp pointed needles pick out fine parts, and the arrow head needle spreads and lifts thin material. Several versions can be combined in one class kit.
- Class 9–12 biology: spreading onion peel or root squashes on a slide before lowering one of the Glass Cover Slips.
- Flower, seed and insect mouthpart dissection under the Junior Dissecting Microscope.
- B.Sc. zoology and botany: separating nerves, vessels and fibres in permitted dissections.
- Replacement needles for existing dissecting sets.
Needle tips are sharp; store them points down or capped, under supervision.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which versions of the Needle with Handle are available?
Steel needles in straight, bent and sharp pointed forms; hardwood-handled straight and bent needles; plastic-handled straight and bent needles; and an arrow head needle. All fall between 110 and 125 mm in size.
When is a bent needle better than a straight one?
A bent needle reaches under a structure to lift or hold it aside, for example a nerve or vessel, while a straight needle is suited to teasing apart tissue and spreading material flat on a slide.
How is a needle different from a seeker?
The Seeker Steel in this range is an all stainless steel needle with a blunt end, 125 mm, for tracing structures without piercing them. These needles include sharp pointed and arrow head tips for finer separation.
Who supplies the Needle with Handle?
Science Lab Supplies quotes it from Ambala, India, for schools, colleges, training institutes and resellers, and can combine several needle versions with seekers and pins on one quotation.
