ZoS 101 - Model of a Single Cell Changing Animalcule
Amoeba proteus, model enlarged approx. 1000 times linearly after Prof. Dr. M. Lindauer and Studiendirektor Christian Groß. In SOMSO-Plast®. In a small pseudo-podium which can be opened up showing the structure after electronmicroscopic magnification. Adapted to the most modern standards of research. On a base with explanatory notes. Model separates into 2 parts.

ZoS 106 - Fresh Water Polyp
Hydra, model enlarged approx. 30 times, made in SOMSO-Plast®. After Studiendirektor Christian Groß. The anatomy of the hydra is shown in longitudinal section: entoderm, mesoglea, ectoderm, male and female egg-cells, buds and mouth opening. On a supplementary model "block cut of the wall of body in the region of stomach and intestine" enlarged approx. 200 times the microscopic structure of the wall of the body which is recognisable is shown again in cross and longitudinal section, and especially the structure of the various types of cell (nematoblasts, musculo-epithelial cells, sense cells, interstitial cells and the nerve network). Model in one piece, on a base with explanatory notes.

ZoS 107 - Slipper Animalcule
Paramecium, model enlarged approx. 1600 times, made in SOMSO-Plast®. After Studiendirektor Christian Groß. The model shows the cell inventory of a portozoa: macro- and micronucleus, contractile vacuoles, cytostome with membranellae, myonemes and food vacuoles and the formation of the endo- and ectoplasm and the network of neuronemes. A detailed block shows the structure of the pellicle of the ectoplasm, and the position and order of the trichocysts and a range of cilia in typical order. Model separates into 2 parts, on a stand with base and explanatory notes.

ZoS 108 - Earthworm
Lumbricus terrestris, model enlarged 25 times, made in SOMSO-Plast®. After Studiendirektor Christian Groß. The model shows the front third of the body with a cross section in relief. To see the inside of the stomach the intestine can be removed. Then also all the sexual organs are visible. Finally the seminal vesicles are removable to show the testes and funnels of sperm ducts. Model separates into 3 parts, on a stand with explanatory notes on the base.

ZoS 114 - Star-Fish
Asterias, many times enlarged, made in SOMSO-Plast®. After Studiendirektor Christian Groß. The model shows in detail: 1. Complete arm with normal position of the organs (stomach, intestinal caeca, pyloric caica, ampullae). 2. Arm with ampullae, ring canal, Polian vesicles. 3. Skeleton of the arm with nervous system (nerve-ring and radial nerves). 4. Arm in transverse section (ambulacral system in cross-section). The cut surface shows the stomach, stone canal, axial organ and madreporite. In addition on the outside the podia, pedicellariae and optic organs are shown. The model can be taken from its stand. Altogether in 3 parts. On a stand and base.

ZoS 116/1 - Head of the Pork Tape-Worm or Armed Tape-Worm
Taenia solium, model enlarged many times, made in SOMSO-Plast®. Model in one piece, on a base.

ZoS 116/2 - Head of the Beef Tape-Worm or Unarmed Tape-Worm
Taenia saginata, model enlarged many times, made in SOMSO-Plast®. Model in one piece, on a base.

ZoS 116/3 - Model-Board of the Tape-Worm
Enables comparison of the pork tape-worm, Taenia solium with the beef tape-worm. Taenia saginata, model enlarged many times, made in SOMSO-Plast®. The model illustrates: egg, cysticercus, some final segments in natural size and enlarged segments in varying degrees of maturation. Model in one piece, on a base plate.

ZoS 117 - Vineyard Snail
Helix pomatia L., model enlarged approx. 6 times, made in SOMSO-Plast®. After Studiendirektor Christian Groß. The approx. 60 cm. large model is that of a crawling edible snail. The right total view shows the shell, the left the opened snail. The lower portion of the shell as well as parts of the intestinal sac, the lungs and foot muscles are partly removed to show all important internal organs. The part lying between throat and small intestine of the intestinal canal can be removed. Therefore the cross genital apparatus can be seen completely. Model separates into 4 parts. On a base.

ZoS 118 - Crayfish or Precious Crayfish
Astacus astacus (L.), structure of the body and anatomy of a male animal. Linearly enlarged 3 times, made in SOMSO-Plast®. After Studiendirektor Christian Groß. The lifelike model shows on the left side the differentiated external limbs, on the right side the internal structure of the crayfish. Movable claws are detachable to demonstrate the position of the internal organs. Therefore the model becomes of special value for demonstration. Model separates into 13 parts. On a stand with base.

ZoS 119 - Mussel
Anodonta cygnea, anatomical view, right half of shell - pallium half and gill removed, foot opened at the right side. Linearly enlarged 4 times, made in SOMSO-Plast®. After Studiendirektor Christian Groß. The model shows the special features of the external and internal structure of a mussel. The organ systems which are to be seen only with difficulty on the natural preparation have been accentuated and schematized necessarily, only for didactic reasons in structure and colour. On a base. Model separates into 5 parts.

ZoS 121 - Modelof a waterflea
Daphnia pulex, made in SOMSO-Plast®, after Studiendirektor Christian Groß. Female animal with summer eggs. Illustration ratio 200 : 1. The 35 cm. tall transparent model shows, apart from particularly typical characteristics such as rowing-antennae, two-leaf shell and turgor-legs, many structural details. It separates from the right side into the following parts: right shell half with second antenna, part of the right half of the body with the five turgor-legs as well as the median sectioned front third of the digestive tract; median sectioned two thirds at the back of the digestive tract, right ovary and two embryos. In total the model separates into 6 parts. On a stand and base.

ZoS 122 - Tick
Sheep tick, lxodes ricinus, female. This model has been developed in co-operation with the Director of Studies Christian Gross. Made of SOMSO-Plast®. The enlarged model on a scale of 1 : 75 is 28 cm long, 6 cm high and 25 cm in width and weighs 0.222 kg. Cannot be dismantled. Comes mounted on plinth from which it can be removed.
