Microscope Slide – Ligustrum Leaf T.S. (Stained Safranin & Fast Green)

The Ligustrum Leaf Transverse Section (T.S.) Microscope Slide is a high‑quality, UK‑manufactured teaching slide designed to support practical plant biology studies across the school science curriculum. Precisely prepared and clearly stained with Safranin and Fast Green, this slide provides excellent contrast, allowing students to easily observe and identify key internal structures of a leaf.

Safranin highlights lignified tissues such as xylem, while Fast Green stains cellulose‑based tissues, helping learners distinguish between different cell types when viewed under a light microscope. The high clarity and consistency of this slide make it ideal for repeated classroom use and exam preparation.

Fully aligned with current UK science curricula, this Ligustrum leaf slide is a reliable resource for demonstrating plant anatomy in a clear, engaging, and curriculum‑relevant way.
