We cannot see most of the cells with our eyes. We need to magnify them under a special instrument called the microscope. A microscope is a very delicate instrument. You must handle it with care.
Before you handle a real microscope, click on the link below to watch a video on how to operate one. Pay attention to the steps mentioned in the video. (Your PC needs to be installed with Flash Player to view it.)
Introduction to Microscope
Now that you have an idea of how to operate a microscope, you may view some slides with a virtual microscope. You may want to go through a navigation guide by clicking 'Start tour' first.
Then view the following slides under the virtual scope:
a) letter "e" - draw what you see in the virtual scope in your Activity Book Pg
b) cheek smear
c) onion root tip
Compare the difference between the cells in (b) and (c).
