Description

Useful for biology study, this slipper animalcule paramecium model artfully depicts the basic internal structures and morphology. The model is numbered, and includes an English key card for identifying features. The model is mounted on a base for display, and is completely made of durable polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic, which is corrosion resistant, lightweight, and has high strength, resisting reactions with acids, gasoline, alcohol, and hydrocarbons. The model (not including the base) measures 15-1/2 L x 5-1/4 W x 3-3/4 H inches. The base measures 18 L x 8 W x 1 H inches. The total height of this model measures 4-3/4 inches. Details that are identified on model: Pellicle, ectoplasm, endoplasm, trichocytes, peristome, vestibule, buccal cavity, gullet, cyto pharynx, food vacuole, macronucleus, micronucleus, contractile vacuole (relaxed, and expanded), opening of contractile vacuole, and cilia.
