Microscope Slide Blood smear Individually packed in PP slide mailer
Microscope Slide – Blood Smear
The slides are prepared by adhering to professional standard biological section-making techniques, strictly controlling every step from sample collection, fixation, dehydration, embedding to sectioning, staining and mounting, ensuring the quality of each section.
Blood Smear slide shows a prepared specimen of human or animal blood spread thinly on a glass slide. It allows observation of the general types of blood cells, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets, and provides an example of how blood cells are distributed in a sample.
Use in education:
This slide is widely used in biology, anatomy, and medical teaching to help students identify and study the different types of blood cells. It supports lessons on blood cell structure, function, and relative proportions in healthy samples. Students can practice microscope techniques, learn to distinguish cell types, and gain a better understanding of the circulatory system and hematology. Ideal for classroom demonstrations, laboratory practice, and introductory courses in biology or health sciences.
- Raw material: Only raw material from fresh and undamaged biological tissue are selected, ensuring the authenticity and scientific nature of the sections observed.
- Preservation Method: Fixative.
- Fixatives: Professional fixatives are used to quickly preserve the samples, preventing deformation and deterioration of tissue cells.Through multiple steps such as gradient dehydration, transparency, and wax immersion, ensuring the uniform texture and moderate hardness of the tissue, laying a solid foundation for subsequent sectioning. Each step is strictly controlled in terms of time and reagent concentration to avoid human errors that may affect the quality of the specimens. Please note that step may vary depending on the specimen being mounted.
- Sectioning: With high-precision sectioning machines and the manual operation of experienced technicians to perform precis adjust of the section thickness ensuring uniform thickness, no wrinkles, and no damage to the sections. Conventionally 5-10um, customizable as needed. Please note that step may vary depending on the specimen being mounted.
- Staining and Mounting: Using classic methods such as hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining, with precise timing to the second, ensuring clear contrast between the cell nucleus and cytoplasm and clear colours. Use high-transparency resin glue for mounting, which closely adheres to the slide and cover glass, preventing moisture and oxidation, allowing the sections to be stored for a long time and reused, with colors not fading and structures not detaching. Please note that step may vary depending on the specimen being mounted.
Useful knowledge of Prepared microscope slides
- C.S. = Cross Section: slide shows a thin section through the transverse plane of an organism or tissue.
- L.S. = Longitudinal Section: slide shows a vertical section of the organism along the longest plane.
- C.S. & L.S. = Cross Section and Longitudinal Section on the same slide for comparison
- W.M. = Whole Mount: slide shows an entire organism or structure, as indicated, is preserved on the slide
