Microscope Slide - Spinal Cord t.s. Individually packed in PP slide mailer

Microscope Slide – Spinal Cord (T.S.)

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.

This prepared microscope slide features a transverse section (t.s.) of the spinal cord, allowing observation of its general internal structure. The section typically reveals features such as the central gray matter, surrounding white matter, and associated nerve fibers arranged in characteristic patterns.

Use in Education:

Ideal for anatomy, neuroanatomy, and histology courses, this slide is suitable for classroom demonstrations and laboratory exercises focused on the nervous system. It supports lessons on spinal cord organization, neural tissue structure, and the relationship between gray and white matter. Students can use the slide to practice microscope techniques while examining the structural details of the spinal cord in cross section.

Key Benefits and Features 

• 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
