Answer 2

Safranin is used to prepare an onion peel slide.  

Explanation:

We use this strain because this strain can differentiate the region of the cells darker than the other regions. For the test we need to remove the membranous structure of the onion which is called epidermal peel. Then inner section of the peel should be removed and then place in water of a watch glass. We need to add few drops of safranin strain in the water.  

After that then place the peel on the slide and  add some glycerine on the peel then very cautiously add cover slip on the peel without entering air bubbles in the cover slip.
