Depends on what you want to look at. If you want an overview of the distribution and overall intensity of the DAB stain, then just place the de-stained leaf on a plain white background under uniform lighting and you should get a clear image of the stain.
If you want to look at it under the microscope, just mount the leaf as you would normally on a glass slide and view under a light microscope. As the stain requires no phase contrast or fluorescence detection, it is simple to adjust the plane according to what cells you wish to see.
