Product Code : SCL-BLE-11681
Tilia (Linden Tree), 1-Year-Old Stem, Cross-Section (SKU SCL-BLE-11681) is a coloured prepared slide of a one-year-old linden (lime tree) stem cut transversely, showing a woody dicot stem at the end of its first season of secondary growth. It is used in plant anatomy practicals in senior secondary biology and B.Sc. botany. Science Lab Supplies quotes and ships the slide from Ambala, India for schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors.

Applications and Experiments for the Tilia 1-Year Stem Slide
The slide is used to show what one year of secondary growth does to a dicot stem. Students identify the pith, the band of secondary xylem forming a single growth ring, the vascular cambium, the secondary phloem with its widening rays, the cortex and the beginnings of the protective outer layer.
- NCERT Class 11, Anatomy of Flowering Plants: secondary growth in dicot stems, vascular cambium and annual rings.
- B.Sc. botany: drawing and labelling a woody stem section at low and high power on a Biological Microscope.
- Linking the microscopic growth ring to the visible rings of a cut twig examined with a Hand Magnifier.
- Pairing with the three-year Tilia slide to count growth rings and discuss how stem age is estimated.
Standard Scope of Supply
The item supplied is one coloured cross-section slide of a one-year-old Tilia stem on 25.4 x 76.2 mm borosilicate glass, packed in a plastic box. The three-year Tilia slide, stem models and microscopes are separate products that can be added to the same quotation.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Any quantity can be requested, from one Tilia slide for the teacher to a set for each botany bench. Science Lab Supplies sets out the packing, delivery time and price for that quantity on the quotation, and the one-year and three-year slides can be quoted as a pair.
Holding an Importer-Exporter Code lets Science Lab Supplies ship to buyers in Iraq, Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, Ethiopia and Tanzania. For a quotation on this linden stem slide, contact the team through the contact page, tick it into the enquiry cart, or check the lab tender page for tender procedures.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is Tilia used for woody stem sections?
Linden stems show the tissues of secondary growth very clearly, including distinct growth rings and phloem rays that widen outward into wedge shapes. That makes Tilia a classic teaching example for explaining how cambium adds new xylem and phloem each year.
How does the 1-year slide differ from the 3-year slide?
The one-year stem shows a single ring of secondary xylem around the pith, while a three-year stem shows three rings. Comparing them lets students see how wood accumulates and how annual rings record the age of a stem.
Who supplies the Tilia (Linden Tree), 1-Year-Old Stem, Cross-Section slide?
Science Lab Supplies, a biology lab equipment supplier in India operating from Ambala, provides this slide. It quotes the slide alone or with the three-year Tilia slide, stem models and microscopes, then packs and ships the order.
What are the slide's dimensions?
The slide measures 25.4 x 76.2 mm, the 1 x 3 inch format, and is made of borosilicate glass in a rectangular shape. The stem section is coloured, and the slide is supplied in a plastic box.
