cheek tissue inside the mouth. Under the microscope, these cells look a bit like fried eggs. The cells on
this slide have been stained, and you will see that some parts of the cells stain more strongly than other
parts. Examine this sample with your microscope, starting at the lowest magnification and working up to
the highest.
i. Create a detailed, neatly drawn sketch of 2 to 3 cells, labelling key features of these cells. Be sure to
include a figure caption (see Appendix C). Use the ocular micrometer on your microscope to measure
the length of two of the cheek cells that you chose to draw and record those two length values in your
figure caption and on the class spreadsheet.
ii. Now, describe those features that make it clear what type of cell you are looking at. That is, how do
