Product Information
Introduce junior and senior high school students to the world of microscopy with inexpensive, unbreakable microslides. Microslides consist of a strip of film with eight photomicrographs, each reproduced exactly as you would see them through a professional microscope under ideal conditions. You can supply all your students with their own microslides. A detailed text folder is included. Viewers are available separately.
Imagine an animal that has no brain, nervous system, blood circulatory system, respiratory system, digestive system or method of moving, has lived unchanged for millions of years and if forced through a wire screen, each individual cell could still live independently. The Sponge is just such an animal. This series of slides looks at the individual structures that make up the anatomy of this unique, benthic animal.
