School Slide Set No. 2 – 25 Prepared Microscope Slides (KS3+)

The School Slide Set No. 2 offers a diverse collection of 25 high‑quality prepared microscope slides designed to support Biology teaching across KS3, GCSE, and A‑Level. This set covers a broad range of specimens across Human & Mammalian Histology, Zoology, and Botany, making it an ideal resource for enhancing microscopy skills, studying cells and tissues, and supporting practical investigations in the classroom.

Each slide is carefully prepared and clearly labelled to provide excellent visual clarity under low and high magnification. With samples ranging from rabbit connective tissue to honey bee anatomy, fern rhizomes, blue‑green algae, and corn seeds, this set offers an engaging cross‑section of biological diversity.
