Top-Grade Hydra Whole Mount Slide – 100% Clear View of Tentacles & Budding Anatomy

Our Hydra whole mount slides are meticulously prepared to display the organism in an extended state, providing a 100% clear view of its predatory anatomy. This specimen is essential for biology labs focused on primitive animal symmetry, asexual reproduction, and cnidarian physiology.

Premium Product Specifications:

Dimensions: Standard 25.4mm x 76.2mm (1″ x 3″) microscope slide.
Staining: Professionally stained with Hematoxylin or Carmine to provide high contrast for the gastrovascular cavity and cellular layers.
Preparation: Carefully fixed to prevent the body from contracting, ensuring the tentacles remain long and visible.

5 Essential Anatomical Highlights:

Tentacles: The ring of elongated appendages used for capturing prey. * Hypostome: The mound-like area surrounded by tentacles that contains the mouth opening.
Body Column: The tubular main trunk of the Hydra.
Basal Disc (Pedal Disc): The adhesive foot at the bottom used to attach the Hydra to rocks or aquatic plants.
Gastrovascular Cavity: The central internal “stomach” where extracellular digestion begins.

Critical Biological Concepts:

Nematocysts: Though they require high magnification to see individually, our slides show the “bumps” on the tentacles which are batteries of stinging cells used for defense and hunting.
Diploblastic Structure: Hydra consist of only 2 primary germ layers: the outer epidermis and the inner gastrodermis, separated by a jelly-like mesoglea.
Asexual Budding: Some slides may feature a small “bud” growing from the side of the parent, demonstrating asexual reproduction. * Radial Symmetry: A perfect model for explaining body plans that radiate from a central axis.

Key Terminology for Microscope Slides

To help you select the most suitable specimen for your research or teaching, please refer to our standard sectioning abbreviations:

W.M. (Whole Mount): The entire organism or structure is preserved and mounted on the slide.
C.S. (Cross Section): A thin transverse section through the organism or tissue plane.
L.S. (Longitudinal Section): A vertical section along the longest plane of the organism.
C.S. & L.S.: Both Cross and Longitudinal sections are mounted on the same slide for side-by-side comparison.
