(Basswood) Tilia Stems One, Two, and Three-Year C.S. Together, Prepared Microscope Slide

Our comprehensive Tilia stem series allows for an immediate, side-by-side comparison of annual growth rings. This slide is a cornerstone for botany and forestry studies, providing a clear anatomical narrative of how woody plants increase in girth and complexity over time.

Product Specifications:

Dimensions: 25.4mm x 76.2mm (1″ x 3″)
Staining: Professionally double-stained (likely Safranin and Fast Green). This highlights lignified tissues like secondary xylem in red and cellulosic tissues like the cortex and phloem in green/blue.
Specimen Layout: Three distinct cross-sections representing 1-year, 2-year, and 3-year growth stages arranged for easy comparative analysis.

Key Anatomical Features by Year:

One-Year Stem: Shows primary growth with discrete vascular bundles starting to form a continuous cambial ring. The pith is prominent, and the epidermis is still intact.
Two-Year Stem: Demonstrates the first clear annual growth ring in the secondary xylem. The development of the periderm (cork) begins to replace the epidermis.
Three-Year Stem: Displays multiple concentric rings of secondary xylem. Observe the vascular rays (medullary rays) that transport nutrients laterally across the wood and the expanded cork layers for protection.
Shared Structures: All sections clearly show the pith (center), xylem (inner wood), vascular cambium (growth layer), phloem (inner bark), and cortex/periderm (outer bark).

Educational Applications:

Dendrochronology Basics: Teaches students how to “read” tree rings and understand seasonal growth patterns.
Plant Histology: Ideal for identifying different cell types, including vessel elements, tracheids, and sieve tubes across various stages of maturity.
Comparative Morphology: Allows students to observe the shrinking proportion of the pith relative to the xylem as the stem ages.

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.
