Problem: Article: Use an eyedropper to drop 1 drop of water onto the exact center of either a flat or concave slide. This water droplet is what gives the wet mount its name. The liquid keeps the sample specimen moist and prevent wet, organic sample specimens from drying out and distorting their shape. The water also preserves living specimens, such as single-celled organisms. If you’d like to make a permanent slide using dead organic material, you can use a thin layer of clear nail polish instead of a water droplet. Sample specimens used for wet mounts are typically wet or living organic material. Use a razor blade or toothpick to cut or scrape up a small amount of your wet specimen. Materials commonly used to make wet mount slides include:  Cheek cells or tooth plaque (scraped from your mouth with a toothpick). A thin cross-section of a plant stem (cut with a razor blade). If you’re studying single-celled organisms—e.g., an amoeba or paramecium—tweezers will do little good. Instead, use a clean eyedropper to pick up a couple of drops of the water in which the single-celled organisms or algae are swimming. Depending on the type of material you’re using as your sample specimen, use a pair of forceps, tweezers, or a toothpick to transfer your specimen to the slide. Set the specimen in the center of your water droplet, so that it’s suspended in the liquid. If you’re using an eyedropper to pick up single-celled organisms, place 1 or 2 drops into the water drop already on the slide. Hold the cover slip at a 45° angle. Set one of the edges down right next to the specimen on the water drop. Then lower the other side of the slide until it’s flat on top of the specimen. You should see the water drop(s) spread out beneath the cover slip until they reach its edges.  Do not tap or press on the cover slip once it is in place. If you do you’ll risk squishing the sample specimen and water off of the slide.
Summary: Place 1 drop of water onto your slide. Scrape or slice a section of wet sample specimen. Place your sample specimen in your drop of water. Set a cover slip on top of the wet specimen.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: First consider if you are limited by gas or electric. Then think about if you would prefer an induction cooktop over more traditional ranges. For your refrigerator, think about what size is best for you and the type of layout you prefer. Do you want your freezer at the top or bottom? You will need to decide what appliances meet your needs and preferences. Consider how you’d like them arranged. Do you want your oven under the stove or as a single unit, or would you rather have a wall-mounted oven? You may love that juicer that you got for Christmas three years ago, but have you ever used it? Appliances like these can take up a lot of valuable counter space and should be carefully considered before making allocations for them in your kitchen design. This about what appliances you use often and which you can store away or leave out altogether. Once you know how many appliances you’ll need counter space for, begin thinking about the total amount of counter space you’ll need. You may find that your kitchen is not that big! Think about ways in which you can minimize the number of items on a counter and ways in which you can create extra counter space. Pull out counters, which nest under your main countertop, are very handy. Think about how much canned or boxed food you keep at a given time, as well as how many other items you have to store, such as pots and pans, utensils, and cookbooks. It may be wise, if you keep a large amount of food items in storage, to create a pantry either attached to your kitchen or in another place, such as a basement.
Summary:
Decide which large appliances are best for you. Decide which small appliance you need. Decide how much counter space you’ll need. Decide how much storage space you’ll need.
