Looking at your results. I will show you the kind of results you get using either Methylene Blue as a stain or Iodine. Remember to use the lowest magnification of your microscope initially to search around the slide. This way, you can quickly identify something worth seeing at a higher power of magnification. Looking at your results. You should see lots of tiny irregular shaped cheek cells. They might be spread quite far apart due to adding water. Many of them have folded over or become damaged, but you should see some flat perfect ones to look at, like my one here %u2014[Right]. Inside the lighter blue (or brown if you used Iodine) you will notice the darker stained Nucleus%u2014[A]. I found a better contrasted one to look at more closely%u2014[B], the small inserted picture on the right. Let%u2019s look at that one with higher magnification. Cheek Cell Nucleus [A]Another one[B]Higher Magnification Cheek cell. Nucleus fold or damage At higher powers of magnification, you may start seeing very tiny dots. These are often bacteria%u2014(right & below). More interestingly, if you adjust the focus to look deeper or shallower into the sample, you might catch a few swimming bacteria like this one here%u2014[C], which you can see swimming in the online support video. Mouth bacteria stuck onto the surfaces of the cheek cell. They got stained too! [C]Dirt in microscope username:reader password:mp-1-202018
