Onion Cells by Catherine

Today, in science class we did a lab on onion cells. We made a wet mount slide for our onions. We peeled the outside layer off and put it under the microscope. We stained the onion with iodine so we could see the nucleus. I saw the nucleus, the cell wall and the cytoplasm. Then, we took pictures of the cells. It was kind hard to take a picture under the microscope on medium power. Below is a picture of cells with their labeled organelles.

  7. This picture is good, but it would have been a lot better if there was the total Magnification

  9. The total magnification is 400x

  10. When I read this (and many of the other entries), I was surprised by how much I remembered from science class, particularly about cell structure. And, yes, Catherine, those lessons were learned well over 100 years ago ; )
