__First Slide__

 * Slide Number: 3**


 * Slide Image (Scanning)**


 * Slide Image (Low Power)**


 * Slide Image (High Power)**


 * Use High Power Magnification to estimate the size of the cells in your specimen (show your work):**
 * 1/10 F.O.V. = 40 micrometers F.O.V = 400 micrometers**


 * Use High Power Magnification to answer the following questions about your specimen:**
 * 1) How would you describe the shapes of the things you see? The things we see look roundish but they have straighter edges. They look Like pentagons and octagons.
 * 2) Can you identify shapes that might be cells? Are they similar in shape, or do they appear random? Yes, we can identify the shapes that might be the cells. They are all similar in shape.
 * 3) Are they all about the same size? Yes, they are all about the same size which is about 40 micrometers each.
 * 4) Do the shapes seem to form a pattern, or does their arrangement seem random? Yes, the shapes do seem to make a pattern. They fit together without any visible gaps.
 * 5) What features or shapes do you see inside the larger shapes? What might they be? We see round darker shapes within the larger shapes. This might be the nucleus of the cell.
 * 6) Which of the five specimens do you think this is? Why? We think it is the frog skin specimen because it looks to be made up of animal cell that do not appear to have cell walls.

__Second Slide__

 * Slide** **Number:4**


 * Slide Image (High Power)**


 * Use High Power Magnification to estimate the size of the cells in your specimen : 1/14 F.O.V = 28.571 micrometers F.O.V = 400 micrometers**


 * Description : The shapes which we think are the cells are long and oval shaped; Some are smaller than others but most are the same size. We can see what appears to be the nucleus. WE think this slide contains the onion leaf specimen because it looks to have a cell wall.**

__Second Slide__

 * Slide** **Number:1**




 * Slide Image (High Power)**


 * Use High Power Magnification to estimate the size of the cells in your specimen : 1/12 F.O.V = 33.33 micrometers F.O.V = 400 micrometers**


 * Description : The shapes which we think are the cells small and rectangular; Most are the same size. We can see what appears to be the nucleus and the nucleolus. We think this slide contains the onion root tip specimen because it looks to have a cell wall.**


 * Slide Image (High Power)**


 * Use High Power Magnification to estimate the size of the cells in your specimen : 1/8 F.O.V = 50 micrometers F.O.V = 400 micrometers**


 * Description : The shapes which we think are the cells larger and are shaped like blobs. They are all ruffly the same size. We can see what appears to be the nucleus and the nucleolus. We think this slide contains the cheek smear specimen because of how the cells aren't pushed together they are spread out.**


 * Slide Image (High Power)**


 * Use High Power Magnification to estimate the size of the cells in your specimen : 1/25 F.O.V = 8 micrometers F.O.V = 400 micrometers**


 * Description : The shapes which we think are the cells are small and are shaped like string. They vary in size and shape from very small to larger. We think this slide contains the bacteria specimen because of the microscopic size and stringy shape.**
