You should try boiling the leaf in absolute ethanol or the purest ethanol you can find for a couple of minutes. That dissolves the chlorophyll and makes the leaves very visible.
Have you a copy of “Preparing Plant Tissues for Light Microscopic Study” by Richard C. Keating? I got it from the Missouri Botanical Gardens online bookstore. It is well above my abilities, I would be happy to mail it to you, if you cannot get your own copy. It covers a wide range of techniques of softening, clearing, bleaching, preparing wood, woody stems, bark, epidermis, pollen, ovules, a great deal of information useful, I am sure, for those accomplished enough to make use of it, as you certainly are.
What about trying the replication method? Put a layer of nail polish, PVA glue, collodion or thick gelatine solution on the surface of the leaf. Let it dry, then peal it off and put that under the microscope. With oblique lighting, it provides a suberb, very detailed, 3D looking image of the original surface. You can even do this on a living plant without harming it.
Awesome! Enjoyed the voiceover too
Thank you for your time!

Why does he need to boil it in the ethanol?
