Letter “e” and The Cheek Cells through a Microscope

Using the microscope you can display the letters "e" and cheek cells. It shows a tight visual image which helps to observe both objects. It is important to follow these methods as it provides the necessary materials and procedures. Wearing aprons, goggles, gloves is very important. Also, be careful when using these materials. The purpose is to observe the microscope under the specimen and to use it. As a result, each graphic image shows the difference between a low power target and a high power target.

III) Observation of buccal cells Obtain a clean glass microscope slide and place drops of water in the center of the slide. Fix the flat toothpick to the inner cheek and gently rub the inner cheek gently at the flat end of the toothpick. Buccal cells were spread into water droplets on a microscope slide. Cover the specimen with a cover glass to avoid bubbles. When observed at high magnification (40 times), 4 to 6 cells were prepared. Details that can be observed in the formulation are included and labeled accordingly. Prior to the experiment, the cheek cell slides were stained with methylene blue by washing technique. Cells with the observed structure were drawn on the microscope data sheet as part of the results. Nucleus

Discussion: Under the microscope, expand cellular organelles for observation. In onion cells (plant cells), cell walls, cell membranes, cytoplasm and nucleus were observed. In buccal cells (animal cells), cell membranes, cytoplasm and nucleus were observed. The difference between plant cells and animal cells is the existence of organelle and its cell shape. Observation of onion cells and buccal cells shows that cell walls exist in onion cells (plant cells), but cell walls do not exist in animal cells. Presence of cell wall contributes to fixation of plant cells, hard shape and irregular shape of animal cells
