This prepared microscope slide displays a cross section of herbaceous roots, offering a detailed view of plant tissue structure and vascular organization. The specimen is professionally stained to improve visualization of features such as the epidermis, cortex, and central vascular cylinder.
Mounted on a 25 x 77mm (1 x 3 in.) glass slide with ground edges, this slide is ideal for use in biology classrooms and laboratories. It supports NGSS-aligned science instruction, especially lessons on plant structure and function and cellular specialization within root systems.
