School Slide Set No. 1 – 25 Prepared Microscope Slides (KS3+)

The School Slide Set No. 1 provides a comprehensive collection of 25 high‑quality prepared microscope slides, ideal for teaching Biology across KS3, GCSE, and A‑Level. Covering a wide range of topics including Human & Mammalian Histology, Zoology, and Botany, this set is perfect for enhancing microscopy skills, introducing cell structures, and supporting practical investigations in the science classroom.

Each slide is clearly prepared and labelled, offering students a reliable and engaging way to explore tissues, organisms, and plant structures under the microscope. From human blood to sunflower stems and housefly anatomy, these slides provide an excellent foundation for practical biological study.
