OBSERVING SPECIMENS WITH A MICROSCOPE

Purpose: My purpose of examining objects with a microscope is to understand the form and composition of

newspaper lettering, a cork board, a leaf, and squamous epithelial (a layer of animal cells or skin).

Procedures: I observed the letters on a newspaper, a piece of cork, a leaf, and a layer of animal cells using a

microscope and its different magnification levels.

OBSERVATIONS

Squamous Epithelium

When observing the squamous epithelial we say that there is a white circle with a two

black lines that intersect each other.

Leaf

The small substances in the leaf were a white circle and a black line once

again, but instead of the pink dots, there were blue and detailed swirls beneath the

line.

Newspaper Letters

On the newspaper letter that had a blue with red font, there were blue splotches of a

wool over a green and red background like substance and over that is a black line

once again.

Cork Board

The cork also had a black line, but as the different picture, their was different red, messy

ovals that created a rectangle.

Onion

The onion had blue lines that occasionally crossed and was covered with pools of liquid. The

black line was also present.

Michaels Cheek Cells

There was a white circle with a few gray marks throughout the circle.

PATTERNSI realized that in every slide but the cheek cell, there was a black line over the parts of the specimen.

CONCLUSIONBased on my data and observations, I concluded that each specimen was made up of extremely small particles

that are intertwined to create a certain object. For example, small pink objects adjoin together to make a leaf

piece.
