Cells from a cheek specimen under a microscope typically appear flat, irregular in shape, and have a nucleus visible. They may also show other structures such as cell membranes and cytoplasm. Overall, they are usually larger and more varied in shape compared to blood cells.
cheek cells are very thin and u can tell because in the lab u have to stain the cheek cell to get a gud look at it and also because its like an animal cell and those are very thin too hope tat helps :)
They look like animal cells which kind of look like small tiny blobs if you see them under a microscope with a very low objective. And of course if you see the cheek cells under a high objective, you will see the blobs but it will be in a close up. But it also depends on the cheek cells....
Cheek cells seen under the microscope may appear less defined and organized compared to those illustrated in textbooks. This is because textbook illustrations often depict idealized versions of cells for educational purposes, while actual cheek cells may vary in shape, size, and arrangement. Additionally, factors like staining techniques and magnification levels can affect the appearance of cheek cells under the microscope.
No because animal cell has indefinite shape
To make slides of cheek cells for microscopy, you will need a microscope slide, cover slip, swab or toothpick to collect the cells, a staining solution (such as iodine), and a microscope with at least 400x magnification. You may also need a pipette or dropper to apply the staining solution.

Dye is used in the preparation of cheek smear specimens to provide contrast and make it easier to visualize and identify cells under the microscope. Dye helps highlight the cellular structures of the cheek cells, making it easier for scientists to analyze and study them.

Safranin is used to stain cheek cells to make them more visible under a microscope. It helps to enhance the contrast between the cell components, making it easier to observe and analyze the cells' structure and characteristics.
I would suggest Manuel to first ensure the microscope is plugged in and turned on. Then, place a small drop of water containing his cheek cells on a microscope slide. Next, gently place the slide on the stage of the microscope and adjust the focus using the fine focus knob to view the cheek cells clearly.
The nucleus at the central part of the cheek cell contains DNA. When a drop of methylene blue is introduced, the nucleus is stained, which makes it stand out and be clearly seen under the microscope. Although the entire cell appears light blue in color, the nucleus at the central part of the cell is much darker, which allows it to be identified.

The onion cells are much more rectangle shaped, than the cheek cells and the nucleus in the onion cell is much more bigger and better seen in the microscope.
You can start by setting the microscope at a low magnification of around 100x to locate and focus on the cheek cells. Once you have found the cells, you can increase the magnification to 400x or higher to observe them in greater detail. Adjust the focus and lighting as needed for a clear view.
