Slide Making Kit — Prepare Your Own Microscope Specimens

Pickup Only – If the item is too large or bulky to ship and is available for in-store pickup only.

Looking at pre-made slides teaches students what a cell looks like. Making their own teaches them what microscopy actually is. This kit supplies the blank slides and cover glasses for wet and dry mounts, plus the stain, dropper and forceps needed to prepare a specimen without damaging it or trapping air under the cover.

A natural companion to any student microscope and an easy add-on at the checkout — the consumables run out and get reordered, which makes this one of the better repeat-purchase items in the range.
