The samples are preserved in cedar wood oil and sealed with a coverslip to preserve specimens. Labeling on each slide identifies specimens. Slides are composed of optical glass for clear viewing and are 3 x 1 x 0.4 inches/75 x 25 x 1mm (H x W x D, where H is height, the vertical distance from the lowest to highest point; W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right; D is depth, the horizontal distance from front to back.) The set comes in a fitted wooden case to prevent breakage and ease handling.Slide specimens include ascaris egg(whole mount), Aspergillus (whole mount), coprinus mushroom set (cross section), cotton stem (cross section), Cucurbita stem (longitudinal section), dandelion fuzz (whole mount), dense connective tissue (section), dog cardiac muscle (longitudinal section), dog esophagus (cross section), dog skeletal, muscle (longitudinal section and cross section), dog small intestine (section), dog smooth muscle (longitudinal section and cross section), dog squamous epithelium (whole mount), dog stomach (section), drosophila-female (whole mount), drosophila-male (whole mount), honeybee leg (whole mount), honeybee mouth parts (whole mount), honeybee wings (whole mount), honeybee worker leg-composite (whole mount), housefly mouth parts (whole mount), human blood (smear), hydra (longitudinal section), Hydrilla verticillata leaf (whole mount), leaf of winter jasmine (cross section), Lilium anther (cross section), Lilium ovary (cross section), loose connective tissue (section), nymphaea (spongy tissue) (cross section), nymphaea of aqustio stem (cross section), onion epidermis (whole mount), paddy pollen (whole mount), penicillium (whole mount), pig motor nerve (whole mount), pine leaf (cross section), pine stem (cross section), pumpkin stem (cross section), rabbit artery and vein (cross section), rabbit hyaline cartilage (section), rabbit lymph node (section), rabbit spinal cord (cross section), rabbit testis (section), silver berry scaly hair (whole mount), stomata-vicia faba leaf (whole mount), sunflower stem (cross section), terminal bud stem tip (longitudinal section), Tilia stem (cross section), young root of broad bean (cross section), Zea stem (cross section), Zea stem (longitudinal section).Microscopes are instruments used to enhance the resolution of an object or image. Types include compound, stereo, or digital. Compound microscopes use a compound optical system with an objective lens and an eyepiece. Stereo microscopes show object depth in a three-dimensional image. Digital microscopes are used to display an image on a monitor, rather than looking through a lens. Microscopes can have monocular (one), binocular (two), or trinocular (three) eyepieces, with varying magnification abilities. Magnification ability refers to the size of an image. Resolution, also known as resolvant power, refers to the clarity of the image. The interaction between field of view (FOV), numerical aperture (NA), and working distance (WD) determines resolution. Microscopes can control magnification through a fixed focus, or through a range of adjustments. They can also utilize LED, fluorescent, and mirror light sources to help control viewing capabilities. Microscopes are widely used in education, lab research, biology, metallurgy, engineering, chemistry, manufacturing, and in the medical, forensic science, and veterinary industries.United Scope manufactures microscopy equipment and accessories under the brand name AmScope. The company, founded in 1996, is headquartered in Irvine, CA.What's in the Box?(50) Prepared slidesFitted wooden case Review: Quality Variation of Slides for An Interested Person - I purchased these slides for my 9 year old daughter for this Christmas; however, I took the liberty of taking them out of the box and "playing" with them for a good while to check out their quality. This is really an excellent set of slides that provides a good mix of biology and pathology slides of plants, insects, and animals. I actually am pleasantly surprised by the quality of the prepared slides, particularly since the price wasn't that expensive when you really look at prepared slides. The value and quality well exceeds the cost of these particular slides. Each slide is labeled with what it is showing, and is numbered according to the slot in the box, and a provided piece of paper supplied in the box. My paper wasn't attached to anything so I will have to laminate it or else it will be destroyed in less than a week. You get what you are looking at in the picture, and what is described. If you are interested in additional information on WHAT the slides portray, as far as why a particular thing is shaped the way it is, you either have to look at another source or just look it up on the Internet. As far as the wooden case, it seems to be of solid construction, but I haven't had it long enough to honestly review it's durability. Overall, I am extremely pleased with these slides. Now I have a Microbiology/RN back round so I may be slightly biased in my review, but I would really recommend these slides. I definitely would purchase them again without hesitation. Review: Excellent slides. Great samples and staining...colorful - I've been a lab scientist for nearly 30 years, and these are good slides. I finally put these under the microscope last week when my granddaughter came over...she's a little 7-year-old brainiac. They are very beautifully stained and colorful. I've made biological slides myself with mounting medium and it can be a mess, but these are great with no bubbles trapped under the cover slips, nice thin sections, not smashed or distorted....beautifully stained. Very neatly labeled. Great sample of various 'things to look at'. No sharp edges on slides. In no time, granddaughter was taking them out of the very nice quality wooden slide box, putting them on the scope, and putting them back when she was done. She looked at different structures in stem sections of different types of plants, stomach lining cells ( I explained they were 'wavy' so they would have more absorption surface) and insect parts. I skipped explaining the life-cycle of the Ascaris egg. As I said, all of the cross sections were extremely crisp with no distortion and beautifully stained. Definitely professional and well-done. A lot can go wrong when making slides...these were clean and very well prepared. This is a great option for teaching because there is no mess!! ## Features - Set of 50 prepared slides, including plants, insects, and animal tissues, for use in biological education - Samples preserved in cedar wood oil and sealed with a coverslip to preserve specimens - Labeling provides specimen identification - Slides are composed of optical glass for clear viewing - Set comes in fitted wooden storage box to prevent breakage and ease handling ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0055E1PD2 | | Best Sellers Rank | #169,168 in Industrial & Scientific ( See Top 100 in Industrial & Scientific ) #19 in Microscope Sample Slides | | Date First Available | June 10, 2011 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 11.2 ounces | | Item model number | PS50 | | Manufacturer | United Scope LLC. | | Product Dimensions | 9.1 x 4.5 x 1.6 inches | ## Images ![AmScope PS50 Prepared Microscope Slide Set for Basic Biological Science Education, 50 Slides, Includes Fitted Wooden Case - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61ESyJaasxL.jpg) ![AmScope PS50 Prepared Microscope Slide Set for Basic Biological Science Education, 50 Slides, Includes Fitted Wooden Case - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61KVb3-xDhL.jpg) ![AmScope PS50 Prepared Microscope Slide Set for Basic Biological Science Education, 50 Slides, Includes Fitted Wooden Case - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61obBvLWXzL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Quality Variation of Slides for An Interested Person *by L***A on November 26, 2014* I purchased these slides for my 9 year old daughter for this Christmas; however, I took the liberty of taking them out of the box and "playing" with them for a good while to check out their quality.

Ii bought them for a microscope activity and kids were fascinated. Great amount for the price, and good quality slides too. Much better than buying at a science site. ## Frequently Bought Together - AmScope PS50 Prepared Microscope Slide Set for Basic Biological Science Education, 50 Slides, Includes Fitted Wooden Case - AmScope Microscope Slide Preparation Kit Including Slides, Stains --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/2980395-amscope-ps50-prepared-microscope-slide-set-for-basic-biological-science](https://www.desertcart.be/products/2980395-amscope-ps50-prepared-microscope-slide-set-for-basic-biological-science) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-04-27*
