  2. PSS.HO.1 • Procedures: • Obtain a new double edge razor blade. To minimize the risk of cutting yourself, you may want to cover one edge of the razor blade with masking tape. Rinse the blade with warm tap water to remove traces of grease from the surface of the blade if necessary. • Hold the plant material firmly against the side of your index finger by means of the thumb. The cutting end of the material should be slightly above the index finger, while the thumb is kept well below the surface of the material out of the way of the razor blade. • Draw the razor across the top of the material in such a way as to give the material a "drawing cut" (about 45o) in the horizontal direction. This results in less friction as the razor blade passes through the specimen. Cut several sections at a time. Sections will certainly vary in thickness. However, there will be usable ones among the "thick" sections. The optimal sections will be fairly thin, about 1-2 mm in thickness. • Have a petri dish nearby and transfer the sections to water. • Select and transfer the thinnest sections (the more transparent ones) onto a glass slide and stain.
