For making a wet mount you will need:
A. Glass Slides
B. Slip Covers
C. Pipet
D. Water
E. Specimen ( It is the middle of winter I couldn't get a leaf so I used a piece of paper)

Put the glass slide on your microscope and lay the specimen in the middle.

Pipet and Water

Fill the pipet with water and drop 1-2 droplets onto the specimen.

Slip Cover

Gently tap the slip cover onto the specimen. There should be some water coming out.
