Video from Malmesbury Education on YouTube

Prepare sections and mounts of plant material, and perform microscopic measurements of plant cells and tissues.

Why this video

Demonstrates the practical techniques for preparing a plant specimen slide and measuring cell size under a microscope.

Part of this line

Covers part of this objective. It leaves out: It demonstrates an epidermal peel mount rather than cutting physical plant sections, and does not use stage micrometer calibration for measurements.

Heads up

This video is aimed at GCSE students and estimates cell size using field of view rather than calibrating an eyepiece graticule with a stage micrometer.
