Science Experiment

Science Experiment!

Aim: see onion cells on a microscope


Hypothesis:
I think the 100x magnification we’ll be able to see what’s about to happen!

Equipment
Microscope Onion
Slide
Cover slip
Tweezers 
Blue dye - Blue stain


Method:
Our very first step started off with using a slide, after that we got ourselves a pair of tweezers and one onion, using the tweezers and onion we were to peel a thin layer of onion and gently placed it onto the slide, after placing the thin layer of onion onto the slide we were to pour a few drops of saline on top and add a bit of blue stain. The last step was to add a cover slip as it’ll help to make our vision more clear to see.


Observation
On the 10x microscope we were able to see the basic shape of the cell.
On the 40x microscope we were able to see a closer version of the segmented area.
On the 100x microscope we were only able to see the blue stain but from what our vision was the colour was purple.
