Experiment description
In this experiment we are going to perform the staining of nucleic acids using acetocarmine. We will extract a thin epidermal peel from an onion, place it on a glass slide, and apply the acetocarmine stain. After preparing the temporary mount with a coverslip, we will observe the specimen under a microscope to clearly visualize the cell nuclei, which will appear as deep red structures due to the stained nucleic acids.
