Applications and Experiments for the Llama
Despite its name, the Llama has no link with the animal; the word comes from the term for a thin glass blade or slide used in microscopy. Students place a specimen on or under the 24 x 60 mm glass, add a drop of water or stain, and view it under the microscope.
- Class 9 biology: temporary mounts of onion peel and cheek cells stained with iodine or methylene blue.
- Class 11–12 biology: preparing mounts of leaf epidermis to observe stomata, and of pollen grains.
- B.Sc. botany: examining longer sections and strips that fit within the 60 mm length.
- Liquids go on with the Dropper, and the finished mount is viewed on the Biological Microscope.
Handle the glass by its ground edges, and put chipped or broken pieces into a glass waste container.
