Looking through a microscope: Onion Inner Membrane and Cheek Cell

My partner, Shreya, and I together looked through a microscope. Through the microscope we looked an the inner membrane of an onion and Shreya's cheek cell. We had to use iodine for this procedure to make contrast. Iodine causes stains that will never go and unfortunately Shreya got a splotch of iodine on her shirt. After we examined the cheek cells as well as the onion cells in low power(40x), medium power(100x), and high power(400x), we sketched out how both the cells looked in high power. We created two circles of which different cell sketches were drawn in each circle. Below are my sketches of the cells:


The first sketch is of the onion inner membrane. The second sketch is of Shreya's cheek cells.
