Brachiolaria larva
Brachiolaria is the second stage of larval development in many starfishes. it has bilateral symmetry.
Obelia colony
Obelia is a marine colony of hydroid organisms. Each colony of Obelia consists of a horizontal thread-like root called hydrorhiza which is attached to a weed or any substratum ,Obelia is a marine colony of hydroid organisms.
Ovule of Hibiscus and its transverse section
These are the flower’s eggs, located inside the ovary. Upon fertilization by pollen, they will eventually grow into a seed. In fruit plants, pollen will not only spark the growth of a seed, but a surrounding fruit as well.
An Aurelia scyphistoma
The scyphistoma is a sessile, larval (non-reproductive) stage of Aurelia, which in time turns into a strobila. Scyphistoma sometime multiplies by budding from stolons. After some time scyphistoma undergoes transverse fission at its oral end, a process called strobilation. .
Bipinnaria larva
A bipinnaria is the first stage in the larval development of most starfish. It is free-living, swimming as part of the zooplankton. When it initially forms, the entire body is covered by cilia.

Fungi on damp wall
Aspergillus niger and Aspergillus flavus are isolated from damp walls. The cement walls of the constructions with internal seepage either due to leakages or air conditioners also support the fungal growth. The last four images are taken using foldscope microscope.
