Oh wow! Our Microcosmos has grown a lot! so many new friends!


 @Manu, sorry about the long silence from my side, I had my class 12 Board Exams and hence the last 6 months have been hectic. Studying for the Boards and trying to get into a good college.  And now as promised, I’ll be going to the Arabian sea to try and find some cool microorganisms!


 Also I couldn’t wait to do something with the Foldscope so I found an ant crawling on my table- I just had to have a “closer” look at it. Sorry for the portrait video.


 In the part where you see the ant’s head, you can organs pumping “blood” or some other connective tissue.


 Here’s the video:

 I saw a post earlier about pollen grains on the microcosmos. Was curious so I took out my high magnification foldscope and took a look and the hibiscus pollen grains from my garden.
