<p>
 In this post, we share our observations on pollen diversity among plants. The sample preparation was kept simple, where pollen were collected directly from flower using a cellophane tape and, the tape was then pasted on the glass slide for observation in foldscope. Photographs were captured at 1x and 4x zoom using the mobile camera.
</p>
<p>
 For the measurement of pollen size, photographs of micrometer slide (1 division= 0.01 mm) were captured at 1x and 4x zoom levels. The scale was set up in ImageJ software and the size of the pollen was measured using the captured images.
