On Day 3 of The Lodha Genius Programme, Exploring the Microcosm we began magnifying tougher samples. From common food items and vegetables we now went to pollen samples. To magnify pollen we had to use tape and dab it against the pollen sacs to obtain pollen. Initially, I was only able to obtain pollen sacs which stuck to the tape, this did not allow me to see an individual pollen. But with practice I was able to capture and magnify a singular pollen. It was yellow in colour surrounded by spikes, these spikes allow pollens to attach to the pollinators body.
