Abstract:
Dissection of a stem.
Hints & Tips:
- Over-staining leads to a lack of differentiation between the different colours that Toluidine blue produces – if this is the case then dilution and/or reduced time in the stain is necessary. Modifications to the procedure can even be made in the lesson.
- Images of the student's dissections can be saved if using a microscope camera, and these are used for evidence of their work when printed.
- Good examples of plant stems: fresh celery and flower stems.
