This is an image of a bacteria cell. The sample was obtained at 6:50pm on April 8th from BBB Lily Pad Pond by sticking a falcon tube into the pond.


 This is from the domain bacteria. I can tell because it does not have a nucleus, and it has a lack of nucleus. #caltechbi1

 The sample was obtained at 1:40PM on May 8th on Caltech’s campus outside Braun House. The sample was obtained by rubbing the flower onto the slide. Water was already on the flower and came off with the pollen, so the sample was wet. After examining the plant and some online research, it became clear that the flower was an aloe vera flower.
