My slides for sale - some actual sets ready for sale...

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.

My slides for sale - some actual sets ready for sale...

#1 Post by mrsonchus » Thu Jun 02, 2016 9:14 pm

Hi again, here are a few pictures of some sets I have prepared and put together that are now ready for sale as seen in the following images - if you like anything or would like to know more please pm me and we'll have a chat to see what your interests are....

Here's a typical 'twin-set' of high quality slides as offered. This is a 'matched pair' - matched by me to give (in this case two) different views of tissue from the same plant, here it's of a common garden 'Lupin' - chosen as many folk are familiar with this plant and may find them interesting...

another set of two, this time 'matched' for the familiar Daffodil's structure, as seen in the tissue-sections therein...

These two are of tissue undergoing mitosis and contain specially stained high-quality sections showing clearly chromosomes and stages of (mitotic) cell-division. These 'MIT series' slides are of my highest quality and are a little higher-priced than others as they involve a lot more time and work to produce; only one from many sections proves suitable for these slides...
They are usually labelled also with coordinates to enable location of the truly microscopic mitotic figures easily and to minimise any difficulty finding 'the best spot' with a necessarily high-power objective, nice slides if you like high-power detailed slides...

Here are a couple of my 5-slide sets,
This is a nice selection, including 'HQ series' slides, a 5µ high-res slide and a specialist-stained mordanted 'lab slide',

Another set of 5, including two 'HQ series' slides, two 'lab slides' that have been created as part of my personal studies and as such frequently contain more than 1 section, as seen here, and a 'morphological series' slide produced for demonstration of overall structural detail of plant tissue or organs, as such often with larger sections of whole structures, as here we have an entire (i.e. full-width) transverse section through a Pelargonium's (ornamental Geranium, zonal leaf) leaf stained with the dramatic & dense Fuchsine stain - this section has some excellent images of stomata obliquely captured and therefore enabling a peek at their living 'toroidal' structure...

I could go on forever! :D
These as seen are ready to post, I have many more from which you may choose, details of which I'll place in a 'catalogue' document that I'll post a link to as there must be a limit to how much I'm generously allowed to put into my posts directly.
Just pm me anytime with questions, I always respond, usually very quickly. :)

All are very nice sets, but the 5-slide sets #501 and #502 have the best value, in my humble opinion. Get either or both of those, if you don't know what to get. Those show both fascinating biology and stunning beauty.

Sonchus flower heads and Daffodil ovaries are my favorites.

John's "High res" slides (thin 4-7 micron sections) are perfect for testing high power objective resolution.

Look through his Google drive and you can also tell that his "HQ" series indeed have very high staining quality and are even better than his regular slides.

Hello -- I'm curious as to what your prices are and if you've linked to your catalog document. Also, I don't suppose there is any difficulty sending slides to the U.S. is there? Beautiful work!

You can ignore my previous reply -- I found the post where you posted the link to your website.

A little slow on the uptake... :lol:
