Cheek Cell Lab by Eva

This week, we have been working on cheek cells. What we did was put methylene blue stain on a slide, take the dull end of a toothpick, rub the inside of our cheek, then, roll the toothpick around on the slide. After doing that we placed the cover slip on and put the slide under the microscope. Honestly, it was like making a wet mount slide. The cells are super small meaning you had to look under high power to really see them. It was really cool to look at your own cells. Here's my labeled picture of my cheek cells.
