Workshop for students of Satya Sai Girls College, Bhopal
B.Sc. and M.Sc. students from Satya Sai College for Women, Bhopal have participated in one day workshop on Foldscope. The students who are working on microbiological aspects under their dissertation work were very much amazed with the functioning of Foldscope and wanted to use Foldscope in their research work.

First Soil
As you all know, nature can be fascinating, more specific, biology. Soil for me was the most fascinating and I was curious, what does soil look like up close? The soil is my first sample during a vacation. For some reason, it looked like soil was nothing on a Foldscope, although it looked like it…
Tardigrada
For those seeking Tardigrade for observation. I find a tree with lichen (obviously not protected). I collected lichen from the bark of linden Tilia sp. Tardigrades. In the moss I watched them much less. It’s best to start by observing any “lumps”. This is where they usually hide. They move relatively slowly and like to…
