Some time ago I mentioned to my partner that I've always wanted a microscope as a hobby ๐ฌ they saved some money and got a cheap one for me recently, and I'm having so much fun!
Pictured is the thin peel that's intimate with the garlic clove, stained with eosin (I think) and magnified x1200. It's great because it's already 1 cell thick ๐ค
What are some tips you guys have for a beginner? I'm looking into buying methylene blue for staining too.
thats cool, are the little pink dots the nucleus of those cells? You should do a DNA extraction on some strawberries and see if you can look at that.
I think so!
Cool, I'll try that for sure
