Applications and Experiments for the Tilia 3-Year Stem Slide
The slide is used to study annual rings and mature secondary tissues. Students count the three rings of secondary xylem, look for the boundary between larger early-wood cells and smaller late-wood cells, and follow the rays, cambium, secondary phloem and outer protective tissue towards the surface.
- NCERT Class 11, Anatomy of Flowering Plants: spring wood and autumn wood, annual rings, heartwood and sapwood concepts.
- B.Sc. botany: measuring ring widths while moving the slide on the mechanical stage of an Economy Microscope.
- Comparing the slide with the cut end of a real branch viewed under a Senior Dissecting Microscope.
- Set side by side with the one-year Tilia slide to show how each season adds a ring.

Frequently Asked Questions
How can students tell the stem is three years old?
By counting the rings of secondary xylem around the pith. Each ring is produced in one growing season, and its outer edge is marked by small, dense late-wood cells next to the larger early-wood cells of the following season.
Should this slide be bought with the one-year Tilia slide?
The two can be ordered together for a comparison lesson. The one-year section shows the start of secondary growth, and this three-year section shows how rings build up over time, giving students a clear before-and-after view.
