Bringing Home Prepared Slides by Home Science Tools

Prepared slides can bring the microscopic world to life, both in the classroom and at home. However the process of making them yourself is time consuming, as it takes some practice to get the slides right. And some specimens just aren't available outside a lab.

Home Science Tools has a variety of prepared microscope slides that can save you the hassle and let you start exploring.

Each slide in the various Home Science Tools kits is made by hand with the expertise of professionals. The best samples are then selected and mounted. 

Slides often have several stains in order to show the intricate details of the specimen, so they're designed to display the sample in the best possible way.

There are a lot of subjects to choose from when selecting prepared slides.

Home Science Tools covers topics like anatomy, botany, pathology, zoology, and general biology.

This is certainly a nice selection, but it can make it hard for you to know where to begin. We took a closer look at some of these sets in order to help you make the right choice for your needs.
