Human Cheek Cells Under the Microscope

Staining of human cheek cell - First we have to take a clean piece of cotton swab and scrap the epithelium layer from the inside of our mouth. It is then put on the previously cleaned slide and smear is prepared. Then a staining solution called haematoxylin is added as a colour solution. Then the excess stain is removed and cover slip that is previously cleaned is added to the slide to make it appropriate for looking under microscope. Then the cheek cells are observed under microscope.

3. This cell do not have plastids, vacuoles or cell wall.

4. They are generally made up of squamous epithelium​ cells.
