Amoeba
Product Code : SCL-BLE-11665
Amoeba (SKU SCL-BLE-11665) is a coloured prepared microscope slide of Amoeba, the single-celled protozoan that changes shape as it moves and feeds. The specimen is mounted on a rectangular borosilicate glass slide of 25.4 mm × 76.2 mm and supplied in a plastic box. It supports protozoa and cell-biology lessons in schools and colleges. Working as a biology lab equipment supplier in India, Science Lab Supplies sends the slide from Ambala to schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors.

Applications and Experiments for the Amoeba Slide
The slide lets students study a single-celled organism without collecting and culturing live protozoa. Under a compound microscope they can relate its irregular outline, pseudopodia, nucleus and vacuoles to textbook diagrams of cell structure, movement, nutrition and reproduction in unicellular life.
- Class 8 and 9 science (NCERT): Amoeba as an example of a unicellular organism and of the parts of a cell, viewed on a Student Biological Microscopes.
- Class 10 biology: holozoic nutrition and binary fission in Amoeba.
- Class 11 biology and B.Sc. zoology: Protista and protozoan diversity.
- Comparing the fixed specimen with live freshwater microorganisms collected using the Field Microscopy Kit.
Start at low power, centre the specimen, then move to higher power; keep slides in a Box for Ilamas or the supplied box after use.
Standard Scope of Supply
The Amoeba slide is supplied as one coloured prepared slide on borosilicate glass, 25.4 mm × 76.2 mm, in a plastic box. A microscope, immersion oil and other prepared slides are not included and can be priced on the same quotation for a protozoa practical.
Packing, MOQ and Lead Time
You can request a quotation for a single demonstration slide or one slide per microscope in the class. The quotation gives packing, delivery time and price for that number, and other protozoa or cell slides can be grouped with it.
As the holder of an Importer-Exporter Code, Science Lab Supplies can ship to buyers in Uganda, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, the Philippines and Nepal. Pricing requests are welcome on the contact page; you can also list slides in the enquiry cart or consult the lab tender page for school tenders.
Frequently Asked Questions
What can students see on the Amoeba slide?
The slide shows a coloured, fixed Amoeba. Students can look for the irregular cell outline, finger-like pseudopodia, the nucleus and vacuoles in the cytoplasm, and draw them as a record of a unicellular organism.
What magnification is needed?
The specimen can be located at low power and studied at medium to high power on a standard compound microscope. A student microscope with 10X and 40X objectives is enough for school-level observation.
What size is the slide?
It is a rectangular borosilicate glass slide of 25.4 mm × 76.2 mm, the common 1 × 3 inch format, so it fits the stage clips of ordinary school and college microscopes.
Who supplies the Amoeba slide?
Science Lab Supplies supplies it from Ambala, India, and can bundle it with Paramecium, Hydra and other prepared slides on one quotation for a biology department.
Related Protozoa Slides and Models
These slides and models extend an Amoeba lesson: other Amoeba preparations, an enlarged cell model, and slides of other freshwater organisms in the same format. Teachers can build a complete unicellular and simple-organism series from them on one quotation.
