Discovery Flora Set with 12 prepared slides

The Discovery Channel informs, entertains and inspires its audience around the world about the wonders of our planet, its diversity and its surprises. By offering millions of people the chance to make new discoveries and satisfy their curiosity, Discovery provides an engaging mix of storytelling across a range of genres: science and technology, exploration, adventure, history, and a behind-the-scenes look at the people, places and organisations that shape the world we live in.

We are proud to present the Discovery range of optical instruments, manufactured by Levenhuk and sponsored by Discovery.

The Discovery Flora set of prepared slides comprises 12 transparent, ready-to-use specimens. Each specimen is mounted on a slide, treated with a solution and covered with a cover slip. All you need to do is place the slide on the stage, adjust the focus and observe.

All the specimens are divided into three groups by category. One slide represents an entire group and contains four specimens. Each specimen is clearly labelled so that you can easily identify what you wish to examine. This set is an excellent addition to any biological microscope with bottom illumination, including children’s models. The slides can be used with microscopes of any make.
