to see the small part
To determine the location of starch in a leaf, one can examine it under the microscope and apply one small drop of iodine to the leaf. The parts of the leaf that turn purple contain starch.
You can use an oak leaf under a microscope, but you wont see anything. Haha, the oak leaf is too thick to be able to see the cells, and obviously what in inside of the cell. If you want to see something under a microscope that is a plant cell, onion skin works well! Hope I helped!

Leaf epidermal cells are examined by making peelings of epidermal cells from both sides. Normally these peelings are stained and examined under the compound microscope.
By scraping the leaf surface and examining under the microscope.
An optical microscope focuses best on an object having a smooth flat surface. An oak leaf is difficult to focus on when viewed under a microscope because it has an irregular surface.
because it would not fit under the microscope

The cell structures within a leaf cannot be seen with a stereo microscope. A microscope that is equipped with transmitted light and also stronger magnification is needed in order to do so.
chloroplasts. If you cut the leaf in half and look at it under a microscope, you will see some cells with green dots on them. these are the chloroplasts.
