The Aquatic Plant Elodia is a great introduction to the microscopic world of plant cells. Let me show you! Always begin with your slide-making materials close at hand. Elodea is the easiest of the wet mounts to make. So you want to get your slide ready and waiting.
Put a drop of water on the slide. You want to select a leaf from the top of the Elodea plant. And place that in the same orientation on your slide, so the upper surface of the leaf is upward on the slide. Add your cover slip, place it at an angle, and drop it down over your specimen. And if you need to add additional...
water you can add a drop at the corner of your slide. And that's it.
