When you're looking at a plant under the microscope, how do you determine if the cells you're looking at are haploid or diploid?

If I am not mistaken.... EVERY cell in the plant should be diploid. The only exception would be the handful of reproductive cells within the flower of a plant. Those would be the ovaries and the pollen.
Other than that, all other cells should be diploid. If you still want to look though, you will need to do some preparation to remove the DNA from the cells which can be a complicated process.
Oh yea on other exception.... sometimes you can come across mutants which are actually triploid.... in those cases all the tissue wil lbe triploid

the haploid will have one set of chromosones,the diploid two

its hard to see that stuff
haploid is one set of chromos

mostly the book can tell you, sometimes you can stain em and look at em though
