Real Lab Procedure
Pour some distilled water into a watch glass.Peel off a leaf from half a piece of onion and using the forceps, pull out a piece of transparent onion peel (epidermis) from the leaf.Put the epidermis in the watch glass containing distilled water.Take a few drops of safranin solution in a dropper and transfer this into another watch glass.Using a brush, transfer the peel into the watch glass containing the safranin solution.Let this remain in the Safranin solution for 30 seconds, so that the peel is stained.Take the peel from the Safranin solution using the brush and place it in the watch glass containing the distilled water.Take a few drops of glycerine in a dropper and pour 2-3 drops at the center of a dry glass slide.Using the brush, place the peel onto the slide containing glycerine.Take a cover slip and place it gently on the peel with the aid of a needle.Remove the extra glycerine using a piece of blotting paper.Place this glass side on the stage of the compound microscope and view it.

Before exploring the details of cell structure, let's understand the differences in the structure of an onion cell and a human cheek cell.
Onion Cell
An onion is a multicellular (consisting of many cells) plant organism.As in all plant cells, the cell of an onion peel consists of a cell wall, cell membrane, cytoplasm, nucleus and a large vacuole. The nucleus is present at the periphery of the cytoplasm. The vacuole is prominent and present at the centre of the cell. It is surrounded by cytoplasm. The presence of a cell wall and a large vacuole are indicators that help identify plant cells, such as seen in the onion peel.
Human Cheek Cell
As in all animal cells, the cells of the human cheek do not possess a cell wall. A cell membrane that is semi-permeable surrounds the cytoplasm. Unlike plant cells, the cytoplasm in an animal cell is denser, granular and occupies a larger space. The vacuole in an an animal cell is smaller in size, or absent. The nucleus is present at the centre of the cytoplasm.The absence of a cell wall and a prominent vacuole are indicators that help identify animal cells, such as cells seen in the human cheek.
