Description

Acrylic imprints of leaf surfaces are made on glass slides and analyzed under compound microscope to count stomata and measure their diameters.

Typical Equipment

  • acrylic
  • glass slides
  • clear tape
  • compound microscope
  • 10x/0.25 objective
  • 100x/1.25 eyepiece
  • 10x10 grid eyepiece

Output Measurements

  • stomatal density (stomata/cm²)
  • stomatal diameter (μm)
