<p> Protist Identification Lab Directions: </p><p>1. Head your own paper “Protist ID Lab.” Use the disk on your table to make 6 circles on your paper. Label these circles A, B, C, D, E, & F. 2. Select one of the eight slides at your lab station. Focus in on the protist. Some are large and easy to see on low power, some will require high power. (If you have trouble focusing, refer to your note packet titled “Use of the Leica BME Microscope.”) Also, keep in mind that the specimen you are looking for will be stained……….. So if you see something that is not in color, you haven’t found the protist you are looking for. 3. Once you have a clear image, read the descriptions of the protists below. 4. Draw the picture of the protist under the correct description. Don’t panic if the protist you are looking at doesn’t match a description…….there are eight slides at your table and only six descriptions.</p><p>A B</p><p>Name: ______Name: ______</p><p>1. Very small. Difficult to see under 4X. 1. Shaped like the sole of a tennis shoe 10 might fit across the field of vision on high power. 2. Both ends slightly pointed</p><p>2.
