Microscope

Seeing into Life Using Microscopes

This experiment was to determine the kinds of observation and investigations into cells are possible through the use of the microscopes and related technique.

Cheek Cells - This cells were taken from my cheek the were easily found with the microscope, the only problem was that I don't think this are cheek cell i believe there saliva cells.



Jo's Plant Outer Shell Cells - When we looked at the plant cells we notices large things that seem to be laying on top of the plant cells, it turned out that the they were drops of water.



The Onion - This was the easiest thing we did, findings the cells of the onion was very easy. It looks like an office looked at from birds eye view.



Onion with Salt - With this one we didn't see a difference until we focused it.



REFLECTION

While doing this experiment I learned how to use a microscope with out a teachers help. I learned that sometimes you have to change that amount of light that hit the particles should change according to the type of particle that are laying there. Another thing that I learned is that sometimes the things that you see aren't necessary what you think they are. I really enjoyed doing this experiment because it allowed my to see things that hidden to the human life. This isn't the first time I have done this project but I still enjoyed doing it.
