Pre-Prepared Slides

All stained sections are mounted with DPX and cover slipped. Sections are available unstained as listed below, or with a stain applied (see stain option table below). All stained slides are supplied with a printed label, detailing the section and staining method applied.

We have listed only a limited (histology) section of our slides, please enquire if you require a tissue or stain that is not listed. We can provide a large variety of sections for many disciplines, including botany, bacteriology, veterinary and more.
