 Label cell wall, cell membrane, nucleus and cytoplasm
PROKARYOTIC/EUKARYOTIC CELL 400x Find a cell.
 If you found a prokaryotic cell, label it prokaryotic. If you
found a eukaryotic cell, label it eukaryotic. Use notes is
needed
YOGURT
100x Use no water, but use a coverslip.
Focus with very low light
 Label where the cell is.
