Features:

  • Set of 100 prepared biology slides, including plants, insects, and animal tissues, for use in biological education
  • Samples preserved in cedar wood oil and sealed with a coverslip to preserve specimens and prevent contamination
  • Labeling provides specimen identification
  • Slides are composed of optical glass for clear viewing
  • Set comes in fitted wooden storage box to prevent breakage and ease handling
Good Set - Botanic and Zooalogic are balanced

I like this set. Some of the zoological slides are themed...many frog and dog tissue samples. About half the slides (unlike some of the other sets) are botanical. The botanic slides also have some themes such as stems, leaves, pollen. It's nice to have some variety within a given concept to compare and contrast. I have Set A which is very interesting, however, I think for general study, this is a far better overview to get started with. So far no overlap between the sets. Sorry I don't have time to type in all 100 titles (which are printed on each slide). Maybe I'll get a chance to do that later.

I am a homeschool mom. I bought these for my 10 and 12 year old children. They love them. I am planning on ordering some of the other sets.

A WELL PREPARED SET OF SLIDES!

A VERY nice set to explore the tiny world of cells and biology! Each slide is well prepared and saves me the time of preparing a slide, even IF I could get all the specimens that is given in this set!

Wife loves the slides

Well prepared for my use and very happy with them.

I have seen a decent amount of negative reviews and i don't think they are warranted. I received 99 of the 100 slides. One missing, but no big deal for me, i am using these with a 6 yr old and 3 yr old and a recent microscope purchase. I am using a mid priced stereo microscope in the 150 dollar range. With this I have had no problem viewing any of these slides. Not being a biology major, i can say that i believe the slides are all of good quality and well prepared for my level of use. I think they would be of use to more advanced persons also. I have looked at about 30 of the slides. In all cases there is one of the sample items located at or very near the center of the coverslip. You may need to search a little for the smaller items. In short, the paramecium slide has 4 paramecium set in the center, each stained differently, red, green, and a brown making it easier to see different parts. The insect, daphnia, hydra, and penicillin were all easy for me to examine under various magnification and clearly visible. Earthworm is a section cut through the middle of a worm, stained and internal parts are identifiable. The storage box is wood, unfinished, well enough made for storage. Minimal padding but fine, as long as you don't drop it.

Good standard set, with clean clear specimens.

Nice set of slides

Nice set of slides. But a lot of them look alike. My daughter (7) rather gather her own things to look at from around the yard and house. It is what the description says.
