Supersaturation is the driving force for all solution crystallization processes. We need to gain control over this process of crystallization and product quality by Carefully controlling the prevailing level of supersaturation during the process. In this experimentation I have tried to develop the crystals of potassium dichromate and tried to capture the entire process through…

The Drinking Water at Kalyan’s Railway Stations Is Undrinkable
I often used to sit for hours on railway station waiting for train and the most amazing thing which I saw on stations was never ending crowd. whatever is the time, many people are there at kalyan station waiting for trains. Quite often I used to see people drinking the waters available at water tanks…
Looking at growing crystals through Foldscope
Crystals are very unique in their properties, appearance, behavoiour Always wanted to see the growing crystals of compounds, Even though the entire view is so breathtaking at the macro level, I was very much keen in looking at this phenomenon at microscopic level. It was never so easy to look at the entire process and…
Let me change- CuSO4
The time lapse capture of Dissolution of CuSO4 using foldscope
Changes in particle during dissolution
Dissolution of a material is a regular concepts which we all keep on reading from childhood, but what is fascinating is what kind of physical changes happens in a material during dissolution..
Looking at Oil-Water Emuslison
An attempt towards understanding difference between emulsion made by oil in water and water in oil Theoretically the emulsion in which oil is present as the dispersed phase and water as the dispersion medium (continuous phase) is called an oil-in-water emulsion. The emulsion in which water forms the dispersed phase, and the oil acts as the dispersion medium is called a water-in-oil…
Sugar crystal dissolving in water under foldscope
Phenomenon of chemistry which I have been reading from years was possible to visualize using foldscope
Foldscope Outreach program at Mahatma phule vidyalaya, ghulewadi
Today We really understood the meaning of outreach program, while teaching 200 students in very remote place who might not otherwise have access to this phenomenal tool. A key component of outreach is that the groups providing it are not stationary, but mobile; in other words, they are meeting those in need of outreach services at the locations where those in need…

View to internal Changes in pollen of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis
I was trying to analyzed the Hibiscus rosa-sinensis pollen morphology in foldscope, during observation I could see changes inside pollen grain. Have tried to document the event
Pollen grain of Hibiscus flower
Petal of Ruellia humilis (wild petunia, fringeleaf wild petunia)
Petal of Gerbera jamesonii (Daisy flower)
Petal of Orchidaceae flower
Petal of Campsis radicans (Trumpet vine)
Petal of Callistephus chinensis
Petals of Aster alphinus observed under foldscope
Bacillus subtilis
Aspergillus niger- Fungal hyphae
Aspergillus niger- lysis of fungal spore
Students coming to NFB to learn foldscope
Few students approached for learning Foldscope they got to know about the tool from the internet and when they heard that we teach the assembly and usage of the same they came all the way to our lab just to learn the tool.
