The Am PS100D micro slide set includes 100 prepared
anatomy and botany slides with a variety of specimens including
s, insects, and animal tissues, and is used in basic biology
education. The samples are preserved in cedar wood oil and sealed
with a coverslip to preserve specimens and prevent contamination.
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.

Micros are instruments used to enhance the resolution of an
object or image. Types include compound, stereo, or digital.
Compound micros use a compound optical system with an
objective lens and an eyepiece. Stereo micros show object
depth in a three-dimensional image. Digital micros are used
to display an image on a monitor, rather than looking through a
lens. Micros 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. Micros 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. Micros are widely used in education,
lab research, biology, metallurgy, engineering, chemistry,
manufacturing, and in the medical, forensic science, and
veterinary industries.
