I. INTRODUCTIONII. SUGGESTIONSA. Draw a small area at a time, referring constantly to the slide under the microscope and to related textbook and laboratory descriptions.B. Note the form, size, and organization of the area in relation to other areas in the field.C. It is better to draw the object large rather than small.D. Always bring your textbook and laboratory atlas to the laboratory session as an aid in identifying objects and to provide a description of the material under study.III. FORMATA. All drawings should be made with a well-sharpened pencil on plain (unlined) paper1. Number 3H drawing pencil and heavy paper are recommended.B. Stippling (patterns of dots) should be used to indicate contrast1. No shading is allowed2. After the drawing is finished, it may be colored.C. Drawings should be slightly to the left of the center of the page to allow more room on the right side for labeling the parts of the drawingD. More than one drawing may be placed on a page as long as the drawings are not crowdedE. Drawings should be large enough to allow details of structure to be shown.F. Title of exercise: The title should be centered at the top of the page in capital lettersG. Title of drawing: The title of the drawing should be centered below the drawing1. Capital or lowercase letters are acceptable, as long as you are consistent2. Indicate the specific object you are drawing, magnification, type of section, and stain (if known)H. Labels: Use either capital or lowercase letters, but be consistent1. Place labels to the right of the drawing, unless otherwise directed2. Label lines should be horizontal, parallel to the top of edge of the paper and drawn with a straight edge3. End all label lines at the label4. Do not underline the labels5. All labels for each drawing should be placed on the same (left) marginI.

INTRODUCTIONLaboratory drawings are made to learn how to observe and record things accurately. Artistic ability is not required to make careful drawings of structures you observe under the microscope.Simple line drawings are powerful self-teaching aids that will help you to learn and remember the essential structural relation of cells and tissues.Begin by drawing an outline of the microscope field section. Then select areas of special interest, or a representative area, and complete it in detail showing particular structures or cellular organization, including expanded scale if necessary. All significant structures must be labeled in print.II. SUGGESTIONSA.
