PRACTICAL
------------------
What is the first stage of this practical?
preparing the slide
15 of 38
Firstly, add a drop of _____ onto the _____ of the clean glass slide?

16 of 38
Then cut up an ______ into _____ pieces and use _____ to peel off _ layer(s) of ________ tissue?
cut up an onion into small pieces and use tweezers to peel off 1 layer of epidermal tissue
17 of 38
Why is a thin layer of epidermal tissue used?
to help see individual cells and allow light to penetrate through
18 of 38
Then place the ______ _____ onto the slide where the _____ is.
place the epidermal tissue onto the slide where the water is
19 of 38
Add a drop of ______ solution to ______ and add _____ to the structures in the onion?
add a drop of iodine solution to highlight and add colour to
20 of 38
Place a _____ ____ over the slide by slowly lowering it?
place a cover slip
21 of 38
Try not to get any ?
air bubbles
22 of 38
As this would?
obstruct the view
23 of 38
The second stage of this is to?
use the light microscope
24 of 38
Firstly ____ the slide onto the ____?
clip the slide onto the stage
25 of 38
Then select the ______ powered ______ _____?
select the lowest powered objective lens
26 of 38
Use the _____ ______ ___ to move the stage up just _____ the objective lens?
use the coarse adjustment knob to move the stage up just below the objective lens
27 of 38
Look down in the _______ and adjust the ______ ______ ______ until image is roughly in focus
Look down in the eyepiece and adjust the coarse adjustment knob until image is roughly in focus
28 of 38
Then use the _____ knob to get a more ____ ___.
use the focus knob to get a more clear image
29 of 38
