I will be discussing the tomato peel, tomato flesh, and pollen samples covered on day 3 under 140X magnification.
Here are my photographs for the tomato peel.
These pictures are much clearer and the polygonal structure of the cells is more visible and discernible. We can also see some air bubbles from the tape.
Next, here are my images for the tomato flesh.
The parenchyma cells are enlarged. It is also important to note that there were some air bubbles from the tape in my sample, so it might be slightly confusing however I have gotten images of the cellular structure.
Finally, the pollen samples. The sunflower pollen had more distinct spikes under this magnification. The frangipani and periwinkle pollen seemed to have slight lines inside their coffee bean shape.
In my next post, I will finish these samples and move on to my final leaf sample.
