Extraordinary Ordinary Prepared Slide Set;

Everyone knows that plant or animal cells look really cool when viewed through a microscope. Slides mounted with parts of crab legs or a flower stem are often featured in classroom science lessons. But did you ever wonder how ordinary things look when viewed up-close and personal, such as ink on paper or a piece of hair? No need to keep wondering---this set of slides features samples of items you and we see everyday. The set includes 1 slide specimen each of samples of tobacco, cork, human hair (both straight and curly), 3 color dyed fibers, and a paper letter "e".
