Microbiology Microscope Slides
Bacteria, protists, and other microorganisms under the microscope.
Every slide here is a scan of a real prepared specimen, not a simulation or a drawing. Pan from the whole slide down to individual cells, always in focus, and measure structures in real micrometers. Present a slide live and every student screen follows your view and annotations. Students join with a room code on Chromebooks, iPads, or any browser, with no accounts.

- Euglena (Whole Mount) Euglena: This whole mount shows many Euglena, single-celled protists spread across the slide. Most cells are long and spindle-shaped, wide in the middle and narrow at…
- Mushroom Gills (Cross Section) Agaricus: This cross section cuts through the cap and gills of a mushroom (Agaricus), stained pink with Safranin. The thick cap tissue, called the pileus, sits on top…
- Nostoc commune (Whole Mount) Nostoc commune: This is a whole mount of Nostoc commune, a cyanobacterium, which is a kind of bacteria that makes its own food by photosynthesis. Nostoc grows as colonies of…
- Paramecium (Whole Mount) Paramecium: This whole mount shows several Paramecium, single-celled protists that live in fresh water. Each cell has a slipper shape, rounded at one end and slightly…
