There are many beautiful flowers in Maryland. One of my favorites is the Marigold.

I wanted to examine the petal of the flower. At first when I foldscoped the petal it was very hard to see because the cells were yellow.

Then I added one drop of methylene blue and I let it soak for 30 seconds.

And I got a brilliant picture of the Marigold cells. The methylene blue stained everything but the cell so it was easy to distinguish the cells.

I was amazed by the difference between the methylene blue vs no dye. I feel adding dye makes it more fun and makes the clarity of the image better.
Now that it is summer break I am going to post a lot more!
