Looking at onion cells through the Foldscope 2.0 was a fascinating experience. Observing the neatly arranged rectangular cells in such detail completely changed the way I look at living organisms.
At 50× magnification, I could see a large number of onion cells spread across the field of view. The cells were arranged like bricks in a wall. Most of the cells appeared rectangular and were packed closely together. I could make out the general pattern of the tissue, but the inside of the cells was not very clear.

At 140× magnification, the individual cells became much easier to observe. The inside of the cells appeared mostly transparent, but faint darker regions could be seen in a few places. The tissue no longer looked like a single pattern but rather a collection of individual cells. This magnification revealed much more detail than 50×.

At 340× magnification, only a few cells were visible at a time because they appeared much larger. However, I could observe the individual cells were much larger than other magnifications. I also saw small dark circular spots inside several cells, which stood out from the lighter interior cells. The dark, small, circular spots are known as nuclei , We observed the nuclei of the cell. The cell walls appeared very sharp and well-defined, and the cells seemed tightly packed together.This magnification allowed me to see details that were completely invisible at lower magnifications.
