These are pictures of a water sample from Baxter pond obtained at 4 PM on 4/17/2019. I obtained the sampe by taking a sample of water from the pond, then placing it on a Foldscope slide. The pictures show Amoeba swimming around. I wonder what specific species this organism is and how they are swimming. #caltechbi1

 The first two pictures are clusters of yellow pollen particles from a Chinese hibiscus flower, or a Hibiscus rosa-sinensis flower. The sample was collected at 3:25 pm on 5/8/19 outside of Page house near the olive walk entrance in Caltech. The locations is shown in the last picture. The sample was obtained by shaking the pollen from the flower’s anthers onto the slide. #caltechbi1
