On Day 2, the Foldscope was used to observe the microscopic structure of tomato peel and tomato flesh. The purpose of this observation was to examine the different plant cells present in the outer protective layer and the inner fleshy tissue of the tomato. Through magnification, the arrangement of cells, cell walls, pigments, and storage tissues could be studied, helping us understand how different plant tissues are specialized for protection, support, and storage. Tomato Peel <img class="ql-image" src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/microcosmosdelta.appspot.com/o/post_media%2FfuS7Fy3OfnVxGOVu8TCxthL0oZO2%2Fnopid%2Fpi29q3jowx_WhatsApp%20Image%202026-06-06%20at%2000.51.40.jpeg?alt=media&amp;token=0a39a830-a61a-438e-b029-8543beba51aa"/> The tomato peel showed closely packed epidermal cells arranged in a continuous layer. The cells were mostly rectangular or irregular in shape and contained red-orange pigments. The cell walls were clearly visible. Tomato Flesh The tomato flesh contained large, thin-walled cells that were loosely packed.The tomato flesh is composed mainly of parenchyma cells. <img class="ql-image" src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/microcosmosdelta.appspot.com/o/post_media%2FfuS7Fy3OfnVxGOVu8TCxthL0oZO2%2Fnopid%2Fjlttuhczo8_WhatsApp%20Image%202026-06-06%20at%2000.51.56.jpeg?alt=media&amp;token=291e988c-5945-4179-ac2c-9ae8ab803228"/>
