Diatom slide

Post by coinjunky2 »

Hi,

I need a nice, beautiful prepared slide of centric and pennate diatoms for my biological studies. I can't find one anywhere! It would be a big help if you could give me a good slide or science website too.

Thanks for the help,
Coinjunky2

P.S. I've already tried google, wardsci.com, greatscopes.com, and ebay(no luck)

Hi coinjunky2.

My two cents worth:
Google Search:
"centric and pennate diatoms"

One of 186 Search Results:

Hey!

I'm not sure what you are asking. Do you want to buy a diatom slide or just have a picture of a slide? If you want to buy one, how much would you pay? Please clarify! Anyways...if you want some slides you can try ebay.com. I found some when I typed in diatoms, but I'm not sure how much you are willing to spend. If you want a picture, then I suggest you look go with what the previous person wrote to look up "centric and pennate diatoms" I hope this helps! :|

Diatom slide

Post by coinjunky2 »

Hi,

I would like to buy a nice looking diatom slide with the diatoms arranged in a circle. It would be nice if I could find one for less then $20 but it would be ok to spend maybe $50. I Forgot to mention that this is for a highschool biology class of about 50 students(so its kind of important). I'm doing this fo a teacher/friend of mine. I'll keep searching fo one, but it would be a big help if you could too.

Thanks for everything,
