Different views of soil life and plant structures
The collection combines whole mounts, surface views and cross-sections. The moss leaf and leaf venation specimens provide views of plant structures, while the pine needle and earthworm sections reveal internal organisation. A decomposing leaf specimen complements the collection’s focus on humus formation.
The specimens are already prepared, so there is no need to collect material or cut sections. Individual descriptions help identify each slide, and the supplied box keeps the collection organised between observations.
