what should be included when sketching and drawing what is seen through a microscope

Answer 1

Hello! Most microscope sketches should include the following:

1. The subject(s)/sample being viewed
2. The magnification of the view (ex. - 40x, 100x, etc)
3. The scale/size of key features, usually in μm (ex. - the size of individual cells)
4. Key features of whatever is being studied (ex. - cilia, organelles, fibers)
5. Important colors depending on what is being studied (ex. - colors of gram negative bacteria)

Hope that helps!
