Microscope Lab Data Sheet

The document is a lab worksheet for a microscopy lab observing plant and animal cells. Students are instructed to observe onion skin cells with and without staining, as well as cheek cells. They then answer questions about the general shape and thickness of onion cells, what structures became more visible after staining, why onion cell nuclei are often at the edge of cells, similarities and differences between onion and cheek cells, and four structures of onion cells and their functions.
