Microscope Slide – Mitosis in Allium Root Tip (Longitudinal Section)

This high‑quality UK‑manufactured microscope slide shows a detailed longitudinal section (l.s.) of an Allium root tip, prepared specifically to demonstrate the stages of mitosis. Stained with Iron Haematoxylin and Fast Green, the slide provides excellent contrast and clarity, allowing students to easily identify key phases such as prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase, along with the actively dividing meristematic tissue.

Designed to support current curriculum requirements, this slide is ideal for teaching cell division, growth, and the role of mitosis in living organisms.
