  This sample that was taken on April 11th at 7:00 PM by collecting water from Baxter pond at Caltech.

<p>
 This specimen contains plant by-product likely from algae or some other organism next to a bubble. The sample raises questions about exactly what organism created it, what the different areas of coloration are and what the actual composition of the substance is. This can probably be better studied by taking a sample and doing spectroscopy on it, this way we can better infer the actual ingredients of the substance.  We can then try to cross list to the known by-products of other plants and hopefully we can then exactly pinpoint what this is and where it comes from. #caltechbi1

  Pollen fragment examined using a foldscope

<p>
 This pollen fragment came from a group of plants outside of Page House on the campus of Caltech. These plants seem to be hibiscus plants. The slide was prepared by taking the pollen stem of the plant and tapping/smearing it on the slide, such that the pollen would come off. Then the slide was put into the foldscope and the picture was taken. The gallery pictures show the general plant and location of the plant that was sampled. #caltechbi1
