Academic Standard: (Sambucus) Elderberry Stem C.S. | 100% Woody Dicot Stem Histology Clarity

This high-precision botanical section presents a complete cross section (C.S.) of a young stem from Sambucus (Elderberry). Recognized globally as the classical textbook specimen for studying early secondary growth, cork cambium activity, and expansive parenchymatous pith, this Prepared Microscope Slide offers 100% clear structural differentiation across all tissue layers.

The pristine microtome cut captured in IMG_4154.webp showcases an unbroken, wave-ridged stem contour stained with brilliant Fast Green / Safranin contrast, making it an irreplaceable model for botanical histology and plant anatomy courses.

Product Specifications & Quality Excellence:

Standard Dimensions: 25.4mm x 76.2mm (1″ x 3″) premium high-transparency glass slide.
Specimen Type: Precision transverse cross section (C.S.) of a young Sambucus stem.
Dual Staining Protocol: Professionally stained using Safranin and Fast Green to deliver 100% high-contrast differentiation—lignified thick-walled cells (xylem, sclerenchyma) appear vivid red/pink, while unlignified cellulosic walls (parenchyma, phloem, collenchyma) stain clear blue-green.
Flawless Processing: Expertly sectioned to preserve the complete circular geometry without tissue tearing, folding, or pith disintegration.

4 Critical Botanical & Histological Highlights:

Prominent Central Pith (Medulla): Observe the #1 classic diagnostic feature of Sambucus—a massive central core of large, thin-walled, loosely arranged parenchymatous cells engineered for storage.
Ringed Vascular Bundles & Cambium: Easily trace the ring of open collateral vascular bundles, clearly demonstrating primary/secondary xylem towards the interior and phloem towards the exterior, separated by the fascicular cambium layer.
Ridge-Reinforced Cortex & Collenchyma: Examine the outer cortex underneath the wavy epidermis, featuring prominent angular collenchyma strands beneath the stem ridges that provide flexible mechanical support.
Early Periderm & Lenticel Development: Zoom in on the outer periphery to track the initial formation of phellogen (cork cambium) and developing cork layers responsible for replacing the epidermis during secondary growth.

Educational & Botanical Significance:

Dicot Stem Anatomy Benchmark: Serves as a 100% authoritative baseline reference for secondary and university-level botany curricula teaching young vs. mature stem development in dicotyledonous plants.
Plant Tissue Staining Reference: An indispensable #1 visual guide for demonstrating differential cell wall composition (cellulose vs. lignin) under dual-stain illumination.
Microscopy & Histology Demonstration: Perfect for teaching students how to identify concentric tissue zones—from epidermis, collenchyma, and cortex, through the vascular ring, to the central parenchymatous pith.

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.
