  Stoma - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In botany, a stoma (also stomate; plural stomata) is a tiny opening or pore, found mostly on the undersurface of a plant leaf, and used for gas exchange.
The pore is formed by a pair of specialised cells known as guard cells which are responsible for regulating the size of the opening.
The problem is that the air spaces in the leaf are saturated with water vapor, which exits the leaf through the stomata (this is known as transpiration).

 Nail varnish impressions of stomata - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Nail varnish impressions of stomata
The stomata, tiny openings in the epidermis of a plant, are surrounded by pairs of crescent-shaped cells, called guard cells.
Stomata allow the exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen (needed for photosynthesis and respiration) between the internal tissues of the plant and the outside atmosphere.
Stomata occur in large numbers on the aerial parts of a plant, and on the undersurface of leaves, where there may be as many as 45,000 per square centimetre.

Impressionism was a 19th century art movement that began as a loose association of Paris-based artists who began publicly exhibiting their art in the 1860s.
Impressionism was a 19th century art movement, which began as a private association of Paris-based artists who exhibited publicly in 1874.
At the time when Impressionism emerged in France in the late 19th century, there was a renewed interest among artists (although not within the official art establishment) in everyday subject matter, however, this time there was a new twist.

Oil varnish drying time depends on the ratios of oil to resin and turpentine and may be sped up by exposure to UV light.
Although not a particularly durable varnish, shellac is sometimes used as a primer or sealer for paint or varnish.
The varnish is primarily composed of particles of clay along with iron and manganese oxides.

 Stoma - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
Another group of plants, known as C4 plants, open their stomata in the day, but take advantage of PEPCase by having two different types of mesophyll cells: "bundle sheath" cells containing PEPCase and exposed to the air spaces in the leaf, and ordinary mesophyll cells containing Rubisco but isolated from the air spaces.
Carbon dioxide is fixed by PEPCase in the bundle sheath cells, permitting lower stomatal apertures and less water loss, and then shuttled to the cells with Rubisco.

This particular water based varnish takes longer to dry, so if the leaves are coated during one lesson, the impressions can be peeled off and examined the next.
The varnish is non toxic, so can be used on living plants without removing the leaves this means that plants do not have to be denuded for this experiment.
Also when peeling off the nail varnish the area would be calculated so that everyone was counting in the same area also make sure that everyone repeated the test.

As the key reactant in photosynthesis, carbon dioxide, is found in the atmosphere, most plants require the stoma to be open during daytime.
A small group of plants evolved with a solution to the paradox; they open the stoma at night and store the carbon dioxide for use during the following day, allowing the stoma to close at dawn.
When water levels are high and there is plenty of sunlight, blue light causes a phototropin to activate a proton pump.

 How can I measure stomatal density?
If you have a suitable type of leaf, you can paint the surface with clear nail varnish and let it dry.
Divide the number of stomata by the area of your field of view and you have the stomatal density in "number per square milimetre" or other suitable area.
It's like clear nail varnish but is not so elastic and therefore when dry can easily be peeled off with a pair of forceps and mounted directly on a microscope slide.

One solution is to open the stomata to permit gas exchange only at night, when the leaf is cool and water vapor diffuses out of the leaf much more slowly than in the daytime.
