Hydra Specimen Prepared Slide

Product Code : SCL-MSAC-12209

Hydra Specimen Prepared Slide (SKU SCL-MSAC-12209) is a coloured prepared microscope slide of Hydra, the small freshwater cnidarian studied for its body form, tentacles, budding and regeneration. It is a 25.4 x 76.2 mm rectangular borosilicate glass slide kept in a plastic box, and it suits supervised zoology and biology practicals in schools, colleges and universities. Science Lab Supplies dispatches the slide from Ambala, India for schools, colleges, STEM labs and distributors.

Specifications

The table lists each specification of this Hydra slide. In short, it is a coloured preparation on a rectangular 25.4 x 76.2 mm (1 x 3 inch) borosilicate glass slide, labelled for identification and stored in a plastic box, for laboratory use under a student, biological or compound microscope.

Applications and Experiments for the Hydra Prepared Slide

With this slide, students can trace the Hydra body plan: the tubular body column, the ring of tentacles around the mouth and, where present, a bud growing from the body wall. The coloured preparation helps beginners pick out these structures, linking a classic textbook animal to a real specimen.

• Class 10 science: budding and regeneration as forms of asexual reproduction in Hydra.
• Class 11 biology (Animal Kingdom): body plan of the phylum Cnidaria, with tentacles and radial symmetry.
• B.Sc. zoology non-chordate practicals: identifying, drawing and labelling Hydra.
• First microscopy lessons on an Elementary Microscope, or group viewing with a Microslide Viewer.

Locate the animal at the lowest power, centre it, then raise magnification. Hold the slide by the edges.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size and material is the Hydra Specimen Prepared Slide?
It is a rectangular borosilicate glass slide measuring 25.4 x 76.2 mm, the 1 x 3 inch format that fits standard microscope stage clips. It comes in a plastic box.

Is the Hydra preparation coloured?
Yes. The slide carries a coloured preparation, which makes the body column and tentacles easier for students to distinguish. The exact stain is confirmed on the quotation.

Can it be used to teach budding?
Yes. Hydra reproduces by budding and can regenerate lost parts, so the slide fits lessons on asexual reproduction alongside other prepared slides such as yeast budding or Amoeba fission.

Who handles orders for this slide?
Orders are handled by Science Lab Supplies from Ambala, India, which confirms stain, mounting and pack quantity in writing. Zoology departments and distributors can combine it with other prepared slides on one quotation.
