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.
