Sag = Sagittal Section: So the slide shows a thin section through the sagittal plane through the midline.

Serial Sections = So the slide shows consecutive sections of the organism.

Rep = Representative Sections (Embryology):  So the slide shows one section of the organism from each typical area of study.

Triarch Incorporated’s name is based on a botanical slide
that illustrates three ridges of xylem found in the vascular cylinder of the Ranunculus root.
Our founder, George H. Conant, Ph.D., had three principles in mind:
Accuracy, Service, and Dependability.
He incorporated these into the Triarch logo based on the triarch vascular cylinder.
