Tetra Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 Not sure if this is in the right thread, but... We had finished a lab in which we were supposed to observe and take pictures of budding yeast cells We're now supposed to make a biological drawing. Since the yeast cells are so small, they fit across the field of view about 50 times or so, but we only need to draw one of them (budding). Are we supposed to scale them so that they would cover more space on the page, or keep them in their original size? And if we scale them, do we also have to indicate the scale? (e.g. 1cm of our drawing = 0.05cm of the actual?) I'm just wondering because, in my beginner years, we were taught to draw both an actual diagram AND a scaled one.
dttom Posted February 7, 2010 Posted February 7, 2010 Usually you should make it flling your paper, and you are just required to indicate the microscope magnification used.
Tetra Posted February 7, 2010 Author Posted February 7, 2010 "Fling my paper"? You mean use as much space as possible? If so,then I think I get it. Thanks!
