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

The Discovery Prof DPS 5 ‘Mutations’ set of microscope slides is a set of five slides with transparent specimens designed for advanced microscopic examination and includes specimens of animal and plant tissues with genetic mutations caused by external factors. The slides are compatible with microscopes of any make that are designed for transmitted light observation. Simply place the slides on the microscope stage and switch on the bottom illumination.

The high-quality optical glass, characterised by a high degree of transparency and uniformity, is one of the key features of the Discovery Prof DPS 5 “Mutations” set. The clear, magnified image of the specimen under examination allows for detailed study, which is essential for those working in a histology laboratory and in many other contexts. This set of slides serves as an excellent teaching resource for undergraduate and postgraduate students of biology, zoology or medical sciences.
