Useful knowledge of Prepared microscope slides
C.S. = Cross Section: slide shows a thin section through the transverse plane of an organism or tissue.
L.S. = Longitudinal Section: slide shows a vertical section of the organism along the longest plane.
C.S. & L.S. = Cross Section and Longitudinal Section on the same slide for comparison
W.M. = Whole Mount: slide shows an entire organism or structure, as indicated, is preserved on the slide
