"Freeze-Dried Specimens"

Hay medium. Characterized by cilia; nearly all possess two types of nuclei.

Specially Prepared “Real-Life” Combinations
The world is teeming with a wide variety of microlife, making studying samples of pond water complicated especially for the beginning student. To lessen the confusion, WARD’S has prepared different culture mixes that reflect protist combinations that occur in the real world, yet eliminates the hundreds of other life-forms found in a collected sample. Comes with a dichotomous key and either the Working with Algae or the Working with Protozoa manual. Supplied in a single jar.

Our choice of five from the following: Blepharisma, Colpidium, Euplotes, Paramecium aurelia, P. bursaria, P. caudatum, P. multimicronucleatum, Spirostomum, and Stentor.
