in the check cell.

Answer:
Explanation:
Materials needed:
Sterile cotton swab
Clean, sterile microscope slides
Microscope cover slips
Methylene Blue solution (0.5% to 1%)
Dropper
Blotting paper/Tissue paper
Microscope
Procedure
before starting, it's always important to ensure that the working surface is clean and that you are wearing a pair of clean gloves to avoid contamination.
Cheek cells can be easily obtained by gently scraping the inside of the mouth using a clean, sterile cotton swab.
Once the cells have been obtained, the following procedure is used for cheek cell wet mount preparation:
place a drop of physiological saline on a clean microscopic slide (central part of the slide)
smear the cotton swab on to the center (part containing the saline drop) of the clean slide for about 4 seconds to get the cells on to the center of the slide
add a drop of methylene blue solution on to the smear and gently place a cover slip on top (to cover the stain and the cells)
any excess solution can be removed by touching one side of the slide with a paper towel or blotting paper.
place the slide on the microscope for observation using 4 x or 10 x objective to find the cells
once the cells have been found, they can then be viewed at higher magnificatio
Observation
Large irregularly shaped cells with distinct cell membranes.
A distinct nucleus at the central part of each individual cell (dark blue in color).
A lightly stained cytoplasm in each cell.
