Review: Squirmy Tropics Prepared Microscope Slides
A Microscopic Look At The Tropics
Heebie Jeebies makes prepared slides for microscopes (Amongst other things), and Professor Plums were kind enough to send us the Squirmy Tropics Prepared Slides 🐛.
Prepared slide kits are a great way to see unusual things under a microscope without having to do all the hard work of finding specimens and preparing them yourself. My boys and I had fun with these slides under the microscope and thought we would share our review with you.
Overview of the Squirmy Tropics Prepared Slides
The Squirmy Tropics Prepared Slides are similar to the Squashed Frog Prepared Slides which is also made by Heebie Jeebies. The squirmy Tropics Slides are professional slides that are themed around the flora and fauna of the tropics.
Each slide is the standard 75mm by 25mm. They are labelled, and ready to add to your collection.
