 This image is of pond water collected from the Turtle Ponds on campus. The sample was collected at 4:50 PM on 4/8/19. The sample was collected by sticking the Falcon Tube into the pond.


 In this zoomed out photo, membranes around the particles can be seen, however I don’t know if those are Eukaryota or Prokaryotic cells. To find this out, I would need to get a zoomed in photo to see if there are membrane bounded organelles to make this distention.

Pond Water organisms

This pollen sample was collected on the Athenaeum driveway at 4:06 PM on 5/9/2019. The sample was collected by taking one of the flowers, removing the petals, and then rubbing the rest of the flower up against the slide. The slide cover was then placed over the pollen to prevent it from flying away. The first picture shows the original flower. The second photo shows the pollen that came out of the flower. In this photo unique things are seen, such as the partitioned structure of the sample. This comes from the characteristic cell walls that are sell in plants. Some questions I have about this sample collection is how rain that proceeded this sample collection affected the amount of pollen in the flower. I feel like this could be answered by taking samples of the pollen before and after the rain. Also, how would I identify that this pollen is from this flower instead of pollen from another flower that so happened to land on this flower? The only reasonable way I can think to solve this problem is to look at a lot more flowers of this species.

Pollen Sample

In this image the crystal shape of the salt, normal refined salt found in the CDS salt shakers, is seen. This photo is particularly interesting because there appears to be a fracture in the salt crystal that can be seen.


 This Salt sample was collected at 9:35 on 5/31/19 from a CDS salt shaker in Blacker.


 This sample was imaged by cleaning the glass slide and slide cover with a cue-tip. The Salt was then placed onto the slide, and the cover was taped down to prevent the sample from moving around. The foldoscope was then rested onto a phone that was displaying a white background and a second phone was used to record the image. The phone was used over ambient light so that a more precise light control could be used. The magnification of the foldoscope was changed until the picture was clearly in focus. A photo was then taken of the specimen.

 This photo shows the photo of an ant, in particularly the complex leg anatomy. For example you can see the several joints of the leg.


 This ant was found at 2:36 AM on 5/31/19

 Those flower petals allow for the cell wall of the cell to be seen. Also, since this photo was taken near the base of the petal, there are a lot of ‘veins’ which are used for structural support and water transport. One of those are seen in the dark line in the photo.


 This sample was collected at 2:40AM on 5/31/19 in the Ath. parking lot.


 This sample was imaged by cleaning the glass slide and slide cover with a cue-tip.

 Although this shows a larger part of the flower, this is of interest because of the small pollen particles that are seen attached to this main flower segment. It is also of interest because this pollen was still attached to the flower even though the sprinklers had recently just gotten the flower wet, which I would of assumed washed away all the pollen.

 In this photo, it is possible to see the incredibly small hairs that make up the ‘fuzz’ that is seen on the exterior of the plant. I am honestly curious why this plant would evolve like this compared to other advancements.

 This is interesting due to its intense yellow color that is seen through the foldoscope and the ability to see some non-uniform cell walls compared to the uniform walls that were seen in the pink petal.

 This is interesting as the pollen that was found within the flower is in the shape of small oblong seeds that hasn’t been found within other plants so far. All other plans have had circular pollen so far. I wonder what the evolutionary advantage of oblong pollen is.

 This sample is interesting due to the jagged edges around the particles. Although this probably helps with light diffraction, one doesn’t feel those edges when they put the cream on their hand. Comparing this to salt, one does feel the coarseness of the salt but not those glitter particles. Must be a difference in size.

 This is a single strand of hair from a person with dyed hair. Although it struggled to show up in the photo, to the eye there was a slight blue tint to the hair, which comes from the hair dye.


 This sample was collected at 5:04 PM on 5/31/19 in Blacker dining hallway from a willing participant.


 This sample was imaged by cleaning the glass slide and slide cover with a cue-tip. The hair was then placed onto the slide, and the cover was taped down to prevent the sample from moving around.

 Although I’m not entirely sure what this cream is for, it is interesting due to the consistent and small particle size that is seen through the foldscope. I am assuming that this is so that it can be absorbed into the skin and doesn’t leave any particles/residue on the surface of the skin. Although, I don’t know much about makeup so this is only a guess.


 This sample was collected at 3:50AM on 5/31/19 in Blacker dining hall.


 This sample was imaged by cleaning the glass slide and slide cover with a cue-tip. The facial cream was then placed onto the slide, and the cover was taped down to prevent the sample from moving around. The foldoscope was then rested onto a phone that was displaying a white background and a second phone was used to record the image. The phone was used over ambient light so that a more precise light control could be used. The magnification of the foldoscope was changed until the picture was clearly in focus. A photo was then taken of the specimen.
