This week the Year 8 have been studying Plant Biology, they have been learning about photosynthesis and in this lesson they have learned about the structure of leaves and how they control the movement of gases into and out of the leaf. In this photograph the students were using nail vanish to take impressions of the cell structure on the bottom of a leaf. They then peeled off this nail vanish from the leaf, and viewed it under a microscope.
Under the microscope with 400 times magnification you can see the Stomata. This group of students decided to use camera phones to photograph down the microscope to record an image of the Stomata.
