Answer 2

Safaranin stain is used to prepare an onion peel slide. Safaranin is a red color stain.

Explanation:

We need a stain to be added in order to get clear view of the cell organelles inside the cell. As cell is a microscopic structure, the specimen of interest is mounted on the slide with appropriate stains. The point to note here it is that all the cell organelles don’t take up all the stains. Each cell organelles has the ability to stains that are specific to it.
