In this post I will be continuing the observations for day 1 which include the Fern Rhizome and onion peel under 140X magnification.
As mentioned earlier, the Fern Rhizome was a permanent slide so the lack of air bubbles and tape made it easier to view under the lens. Here are a few photos of this sample under 140X magnification.
In these images, the cells appear to be larger with less spacing between them. Furthermore, the first picture shows a clear image of the stele core which contains the primary vascular tissue of the Fern Rhizome which is a dark maroon color.
Next, I will talk about the onion peel sample under this magnification. Here are a few photographs.
I was satisfied with my sample under 140X magnification as it showed a clear view of the cellular structure. The brick-like cellular structure is visible under the layer of tape and the cell wall.
Next, I will be covering the same samples under 340X magnification.
