José Gerardo Cruz Rivera observed leaves under a dissecting microscope on January 28, 2011. He used the microscope to more closely examine leaves such as Maltese Cross, Lotus, and grass. Cruz turned on the microscope, placed the leaves on the base, added light, and observed the leaves on a computer program. Finally, he presented his findings which showed the different structures of the leaves' veins. The lab familiarized him with microscope operation and demonstrated the veins and structures of leaves.

José Gerardo Cruz Rivera January 28, 2011<br />804-10-1716<br />Microscopy and Photomicrography<br />On Friday January 28, 2011, techniques were done using a microscope to observe more closely assigned objects. We used two microscopes, dissecting and compound. In my case, I used the dissecting microscope and observed different leaves such as Maltese Cross, Lotus and grass. Basically I turned the microscope on, put the leaves on the base, added light, and observed the leaves on the computer through the program Q Capture. Finally, we did a presentation which showed the different structures of the leaves. The lab familiarized us with the operation of the microscope and showed us how the veins and structure of leaves are.<br />
