To observe the anatomy on low power on the compound scope, place a ring of petroleum jelly on a coverslip. Place a planarian in the center with a drop of spring water, place a second coverslip on top and gently press flat. Do planaria respond to movement of the dish or to touch (like a gentle touch with a paintbrush)? Draw the cut you intend to make and the expected pattern of regeneration.
