My first tardigrade – and a surprise at that. I looked into my Foldscope, and, without panning or focusing, the first thing that I saw was a slightly blurred, but recognisable little creature! Yesterday I scraped off some lichens from two trees on my street. I think they were the same kind of lichens; they…

Hi I am a 5th grader and I have been exploring the Foldscope! It has been so much fun and I’m looking forward to do more research! This is my first post 😊
Where does dust comes from? Identifying the source of dust using a Foldscope
I have been thinking about the dust in my house for a while, does it come from outside or inside homes or both? How much our bodies contribute to it? What all we can find in house dust. Can this information be used to control dust. I did some online research but found contradictory information…

Scales on a gecko tail
A gecko that was sitting above my garden door took fright when I opened the door and dropped its tail. I took advantage of this situation and saved the tail for some Foldscope explorations. It was incredible to see the variability in the pigment distribution, colour and pattern on the scales. Some areas are sparsely…

I. Understanding the earliest farmers: The “crops”
Lockdown and working from home have their own advantages (let us only talk about good things). My favorite new pastime is interacting with an 11-year-old and her everyday school lessons, sometimes even as the class is done. A few days ago, the 11-year-old lectured me on the earliest farmers in the fertile crescent, the Indian…
Mosquito larva
The end of the larvae has a siphon that stays outside the water so that the larva can breath. The other is the anal segment of the larva.
Wool (Jacob)
A sample of wool from a Jacob sheep. You can see the scaly texture on the individual strands that makes it suited for twisting into yarn.
Kiwi hairs
I can't believe a paper microscope gets this great quality of some hairs I took of a little kiwi. We did it in my History of Medicine class and it was awesome!
