Have a problem finding shops that sell specific materials? Ask here. Are you looking for microscope parts? Do you have anything to offer for sale? Note: this is not a section for external companies to advertise their products.

WTB slides of whole insects / other larger organism

#1 Post by karhukainen » Sun Aug 21, 2022 11:58 am

Edit. Slides of other larger (preferably min. 0.5 cm) organisms can also be offered.

Could someone sell me a few cheap slides of whole insects or other invertebrates? I'm looking for something that doesn't have significant yellowing or staining. Preferably in Europe and no CITES species :D

Something like this: http://www.microscopy-uk.org.uk/mag/img ... tle-1l.jpg (The specimens should be "clear".)

May have some NBS Northern Biological Supply slides done by the late Eric Marson.

I’m in the EU, mainland Europe, sending them to the UK will be a nogo (VAT plus import taxes).

If you are in the UK: there are some nice ones on E….

Let me now whether I need to check and come back via PM.

How much would you want just for the dragonfly? It might still be a bit too yellow but it has nice contrast and shape, so it could work for my purpose.

Had a closer look: the dragon fly slide has mouting media spilled on the coverglass.

And it is a SET of slides (didn’t show the box)

I edited the original post a bit because I need buy something quite quickly.
