Introduction:

I am going to be preparing a slide of an onion piece and looking at it through a microscope in low and high powers. By doing this I expect to accomplish a drawing of an onion cell close up and how to use the assured tools similar to the microscope.

Discussion:

Microscopy is vital for the reason that it allows you to look into certain bits and pieces closely and find out more information about the item. It allows you to glance at many existing cells and other things as well.

History:

In 1665 an Englishman named Robert Hooke cut out some very thin strips of cork and looked at them using a very primitive microscope. What he saw was little tiny spaces which he called cells as they reminded him of tiny rooms. He was the first person to actually see this. The invention of the microscope was a huge technological breakthrough which enabled scientists to develop ideas about the structure of living things.

Safety Points:

* Take care not to cut yourself while cutting the onion.

* Make certain with the function of the microscope is handled with care.
