    BSC109 Week 2 Lab Report

    The student took screenshots of onion cells at different magnifications (40x, 100x, 400x) for a virtual microscope lab. They were required to use a microscope because onion cells are too small to see with the naked eye. At higher magnifications, the student had to adjust the microscope focus. The onion cells were generally round in shape, like most plant cells, and contained a central vacuole. No organelles were visible at high magnifications.

    2. What happened to your view through the microscope as you increased the
    magnification of the onion root tip? Did you have to adjust any of the microscope
    controls as you zoomed in? If so, how/why?

    3. What was the general shape of the onion cells? Why do they have this shape?
    How does this differ from the shape(s) of other eukaryotic cell types (such as
    human cells)?

    4. What was the dark circular structure in the middle of most cells?

    5. Are there organelles visible in your images? If so, identify which one(s). If not,
    explain why they were not visible.

    6. Speculate as to how prokaryotic (bacterial) cells might have looked when viewed
    under this microscope.
