Transverse Section of the Leaf
Product Code : SCL-BLE-11719
Transverse Section of the Leaf (SKU SCL-BLE-11719) is a 300 x 400 mm three-dimensional model of a leaf cut across, showing the cuticle, upper and lower epidermis, palisade and spongy mesophyll, stomata with guard cells and a vein with xylem and phloem. Made of PVC with non-toxic dyes and painted by hand, it supports plant anatomy and photosynthesis lessons in Class 10–11 and B.Sc. botany. Science Lab Supplies quotes it from Ambala, India for schools, colleges and dealers.
Specifications
Every layer and feature of the leaf section model is entered separately in the table. In short, it is a 300 x 400 mm model in durable PVC plastic, coloured with non-toxic dyes and hand painted, showing the tissues from the cuticle down to the stomata and the vein in three dimensions.

Applications and Experiments for the Leaf Transverse Section Model
The model is used to connect leaf structure with function: palisade cells packed with chloroplasts for photosynthesis, air spaces in the spongy layer for gas exchange, stomata controlled by guard cells, and the vein carrying water in and sugars out. Students can label each tissue before looking at real sections.
- NCERT Class 10 Science, Life Processes: photosynthesis, stomata and gas exchange.
- NCERT Class 11 Biology, Anatomy of Flowering Plants: the internal structure of a leaf.
- B.Sc. botany: plant tissues and the arrangement of xylem and phloem in a vein.
- Linking stomata to water loss with the Kit for Demonstration of Transpiration in Plants, then viewing real leaf sections under the Biological Microscope.
Standard Scope of Supply
The order is for one leaf transverse section model, 300 x 400 mm, in PVC coloured with non-toxic dyes and hand painted. Stem and root models, leaf section slides and wall charts are separate items that can be added to the quotation for a complete plant anatomy set.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
Science Lab Supplies will quote one leaf model for a classroom demonstration or a set for every botany practical room in a school group. Packing, delivery time and price for that quantity are written on the quotation, and the stem and root section models can be priced alongside.
Having an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Qatar, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Malaysia, Peru and Egypt. To find out the cost of the leaf model, raise a query on the contact page or add it to the enquiry cart; procurement teams issuing tenders can refer to the lab tender page.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which leaf tissues does the model show?
It shows the cuticle, upper and lower epidermis, palisade and spongy mesophyll, stomata with guard cells, and a vein containing xylem and phloem, which covers the leaf anatomy needed for school and first-year college botany.
What is the model made of?
It is made of durable PVC plastic, coloured with non-toxic dyes and hand painted. The model measures 300 x 400 mm and presents the leaf tissues in three dimensions rather than as a flat diagram.
Who supplies the Transverse Section of the Leaf model?
Botany departments and resellers can buy it through Science Lab Supplies, which handles the quotation and dispatch from Ambala, India and can send matching stem and root section models in the same shipment.
Can this model replace microscope slides?
It complements them. Students first identify each tissue on the enlarged model and then find the same layers on a prepared leaf section under a microscope, which makes the slide much easier to interpret.
