Monocotyledonous and Dicotyledonous Stems, Cross Section
Product Code : SCL-BLE-11680
Monocotyledonous and Dicotyledonous Stems, Cross Section (SKU SCL-BLE-11680) is a coloured prepared slide with transverse sections of a monocot stem and a dicot stem, letting students contrast how vascular bundles are arranged in the two plant groups. It supports plant anatomy work in senior secondary biology and B.Sc. botany. Science Lab Supplies delivers the slide from Ambala, India to schools, colleges, training institutes, tender contractors and distributors who order it.
Specifications
The table gives each detail of the monocot and dicot stem slide. In short form: two coloured stem sections are mounted together on a rectangular borosilicate glass slide that measures 25.4 x 76.2 mm (1 x 3 inches), and the slide is delivered in a plastic box.

Applications and Experiments for the Monocot and Dicot Stem Slide
The slide is used to compare stem anatomy in monocots and dicots. In the dicot section students find vascular bundles arranged in a ring with cambium between xylem and phloem; in the monocot section the bundles lie scattered through ground tissue, each wrapped in a bundle sheath and lacking cambium.
- NCERT Class 11, Anatomy of Flowering Plants: transverse sections of dicot and monocot stems.
- Class 11–12 practicals: identifying a stem section and listing the features that confirm it, before moving on to the Monocotyledonous and Dicotyledonous Leaves, Cross Section slide.
- B.Sc. botany: labelled diagrams of open and closed vascular bundles at high power.
- Routine class observation on a fixed-stage instrument such as the Junior School Microscope.
Standard Scope of Supply
Each unit is one coloured slide bearing monocot and dicot stem cross sections on 25.4 x 76.2 mm borosilicate glass, in a plastic box. Stem models, charts and a microscope are not supplied with it but can be quoted as additional lines.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the main difference students should see between the two stems?
The arrangement of vascular bundles. In the dicot stem they form a ring with cambium, separating cortex from pith; in the monocot stem they are scattered through ground tissue, are closed without cambium and have a sheath around each bundle.
Does this slide help explain secondary growth?
It introduces the idea, because the cambium visible in the dicot bundles is the tissue that later produces secondary growth. Woody stem sections, such as the Tilia slides in this range, then show the result of that growth.
Who supplies the Monocotyledonous and Dicotyledonous Stems, Cross Section slide?
Science Lab Supplies supplies it from its base in Ambala, India. A single enquiry can cover this slide together with other school biology lab equipment in India, such as stem models, charts and microscopes, and the company packs and ships the complete order.
What size and material is the slide?
It is a rectangular borosilicate glass slide measuring 25.4 x 76.2 mm, equivalent to 1 x 3 inches. The stem sections are coloured, and a plastic box is included for storing the slide.
