I have observed the outer epidermis of a leaf and the skin of a pea pod under my Foldscope. The samples were taken at different times of the day, and we can see both closed and open stomata, depending on when they were taken. Closed Stomata This is a leaf peel from a rhoeo (Tradescantia…
Onion Cells
An onion peel is typically one of the first samples viewed when introduced to school-level microscopy. Here are images of an onion skin under my Foldscope. The cells are seen very distinctly and have a three-dimensional appearance.

On my terrace, between my plants!
Hey foldscopers! This is Arya. Sorry for not letting you know something new from long time. But today I am going to share with you all some things in detail. It might be interesting in the start but the last part of it is most amazing one. So stay there till the end So, what…
Petals, hairs, and spikes — oh my!
For this assignment, I headed over to my local greenbelt to get a closer look at the plethora of plants there. I’m really interested in materials science, so I wanted to investigate the microscopic differences of plant textures and forms — essentially, what features contribute to a plant’s structure/appearance? I tried to pick a variety…
Foldscope photography: my journey from simply observing to clicking high quality photos.
We all use Foldscope to observe microscopic world and occasionally take photos to share with community. I have been doing it from last few years but then I thought can I take high quality photos with Foldscope, photos so good that they can be submitted to microscopic photography competitions. To answer my questions I have…

Baby Roses, Under Scope
Bouquets are classic, a staple of the post-performance flock to the stage, of the post-graduation family swarm. In my case, they accompanied a tray of cupcakes and a homemade card on my twenty first birthday. In addition to the huge red and peach-colored blooms, however, my eyes alighted upon the tiny, elegant white sprays of…

Jewels of a Messy Kitchen
I conducted this project as part of Professor Pringle’s EEB321 class at Princeton University. There’s not much to see in my apartment. My bedroom window is up against the wall of the building next door, and so are the windows in the living room and kitchen. Without much around to provide inspiration, and trying to…
What’s in What we Eat?
I conducted this project as part of Professor Pringle’s EEB321 class at Princeton University. I’ve always loved cooking. Ever since I was a young boy, I’ve always watched my grandma cook her special spaghetti Bolognese, I’ve tagged along when my mom stirred up some oxtail, and I’ve closely observed when my dad made his special…

DUST PARTICLES
I found these dust particles in my room. On my windowsill. The dust particles look like ropes. The texture is rough. I know it’s non living because there is no nucleus or cell membrane. They are irregular shapes as well. For my hypothesis I predict that inside of the dust is bacteria, debris, and mold….
The Ecology of Face Coverings
I conducted this project as part of Professor Pringle’s EEB321 class at Princeton University. As COVID-19 coasts into its long-anticipated third wave, I’d say that, by now, I’ve become well-acquainted with the diversity of face coverings on the market. In my beloved minivan, I’ve stowed a box of cotton masks in the glovebox, and on…
