The invention relates to a microscopic slide preparation method for observing the characteristics of the lower epidermis of folium artemisiae argyi, which effectively solves the problem of observing the pore of the lower epidermis of folium artemisiae argyi, the vertical
peripheral wall pattern of epidermis cells and the distribution of glandular hair and non-glandular hair by using an
optical microscope. Rinsing with
distilled water, soaking with a
mixed solution of
sodium hydroxide and
hydrogen peroxide, dissociating mesophyll tissues, bleaching, transferring into
alcohol, and removing non-glandular hairs on leaf epidermis; the preparation method comprises the following steps of: adding the raw materials into a
mixed solution of
chromic acid and
nitric acid, standing, dissociating mesophyll tissues, rinsing by using
alcohol, separating upper and lower epidermis, removing mesophyll tissues of inner epidermis,
dyeing the upper and lower epidermis by using a
toluidine blue O solution, and rinsing by using water to remove floating color and water seal sheets, thereby obtaining the high-purity mesophyll tissue. The preparation method is simple to operate, low in cost, small in
workload, high in success rate, clear in observation and good in effect; the technical problem of observing the lower epidermis of the folium artemisiae argyi is solved, the technical requirement on operators is not high, and an ideal effect can be achieved.
