To Prepare Stained Temporary Mount of Human Cheek Cells

Materials Required



Real Lab Procedure

Gently scrape the inner side of the cheek using a toothpick, which will collect some cheek cells.Place the cells on a glass slide that has water on it.Mix the water and the cheek cells using  a needle and spread them.Take a few drops of Methylene blue solution using a dropper and add this to the mixture on the slide.After 2-3 minutes remove any excess water and stain from the slide using a blotting paper.Take a few drops of glycerine using a dropper and add this to the test mixture.Take a clean cover slip and lower it carefully on the mixture with the aid of a needle.Using a brush and needle, press the cover slip gently to spread the epithelial cells.Remove any extra liquid around the cover slip using a blotting paper.Place this glass side on the stage of the compound microscope and view it.

Observations

A large number of flat and irregular-shaped cells are observed.The cells do not have a cell wall. However, each cell has a thin cell membrane.A deeply stained nucleus is observed at the centre of each cell.No prominent vacuoles are observed in the cells.

Conclusion

As the cells observed do not have a cell wall, nor a prominent vacuole, the cells of the specimen on the slide are animal cells.

Aim:nucleus in cheek cell. Apparatus : toot pic, glass slide , saffranin or methylene blue . Procedure : take a tooth pic and scratch in the mouth slowly .take the cheek cells keep on glass mix the water with needle . Add few droops of methylene blue . And observe in microscope . You can see the image . Observation : cell will become a large. it won't have shape . Boundary of cheek cell is the cell membrane . Cell wall & cell membrane , nucleus , cytoplasm etc.....we can observe. Precautions: while scratching the screen slowly . Please take care of chemicals . Don't taste the chemicals.
