Today, I saw something I’ve never seen before.
The fern rhizome I viewed through the miraculous foldscope seemed to be entirely unrelated to the tiny circular object visible to the naked eye.
I initially could not see anything through the foldscope, and what I could see was very blurry.

It is unfathomable that a seemingly tiny sample could hold such different colours and areas. I was quite surprised by the definite, beautiful composition, and I enjoyed it.
