25. Stomata Activity Obtain Two leaves from different types of plants. Paint a thick patch (at least one square centimeter) of clear nail polish on the underside of the leaf surface being studied. Allow the nail polish to dry completely. Tape a piece of clear cellophane tape to the dried nail polish patch. Gently peel the nail polish patch from the leaf by pulling on a corner of the tape and "peeling" the fingernail polish off the leaf. This is the leaf impression you will examine. Tape your peeled impression to a very clean microscope slide. Use scissors to trim away any excess tape. Label the slide with plant name. Examine the leaf impression under a light microscope at 400X. Search for areas where there are numerous stomata, and where there are no dirt, thumb prints, damaged areas, or large leaf veins. Draw the leaf surface with stomata. Count all the stomata in one microscopic field. Record the number on your data table. Repeat counts for at least three other distinct microscopic fields. Record all the counts. Determine an average number per microscopic field.
