A video of paramecium in pond water. Sample obtained using a dropper from the top tier of the turtle pond at 6:20 PM on April 10th, 2019.


 Paramecia are from the domain Eukarya. This organism was classified as a paramecium because it was moving and resembled the description given in the foldscope kit.

Paramecium

Pollen from California Poppies

This is an image of a vein running through a leaf of baby spinach. The small round dots that make up this image are believed to be plant cells. This sample was obtained at 4:30 PM on May 27th, 2019 in Blacker House kitchen. It was obtained by removing a leaf from a container of baby spinach leaves in a refrigerator.

Baby Spinach Vein

In this image are several crystals of iodized salt. Notice the regular cubic structure of the grains. This sample was obtained at 4:45 PM on May 27th, 2019 in a Blacker House kitchen. It was obtained by saturating water with salt, then putting some of the wet crystals onto the foldscope slide.

Iodized Salt Crystals

This is an image of a sample of the outermost layer of human skin. The sample was obtained by sticking tape to a person’s forearm, then removing the tape to which the outermost layer of skin was attached. The sample is likely mostly composed of dead skin cells, as these are the cells which most readily detach from the body. The isolated cell in the lower left shows the size and roundness of the cells which make up the clusters in this image. The sample was obtained at 5 PM on May 27th, 2019 in a Blacker House kitchen.

Outer Skin Cells

This is an image of the end of a fly wing.
 
 The wing can be seen in the upper right of the image. The sample was obtained on the lawn outside of the Athenaeum by trapping a fly between a foldscope slide and cover. The sample was obtained at 5:30 PM on May 27th, 2019.

Tip of Fly Wing

This image depicts the edge of a petal from a flower of a Jacaranda tree (a plant of genus Jacaranda). Nearest to the edge, individual plant cells can be seen composing the petal. This sample was obtained by separating a petal from a fallen flower of a Jacaranda tree. It was obtained at 5:20 PM on May 27th, 2019 from the lawn outside the Athenaeum.

Jacaranda Petal

This is an image of the edge of a piece of onion skin. Closest to the edge, it is easiest to discern the cells making op the skin. This image also contains a vein running through the skin, which can be seen as a dark vertical band running down the center of the image. This sample was obtained from a kitchen in Blacker House at 5:50 on May 27th, 2019. It was obtained by removing a piece of skin from the outermost layer of an onion.

Skin of Onion

This is an image of the inner layer of a blade of grass. The outer layers were peeled away until the sample was more transparent. On the edge of this image, the boundary between light green and dark green is where the blade of grass transitions from peeled to unpeeled. The grass appears to have a fibrous structure, as the image shows vertical stripes. This sample was obtained from a lawn near the Olive Walk. It was obtained at 5:30 PM on May 27th, 2019.
