<p>On Day 4, the final day before our presentations, we were exposed to more pollen grains and even leaf membranes. We observed pollen grains of the pumpkin flower at various magnifications. We also observed leaf membranes, through which we saw stomata!<br/>I found this very cool, as at 340x magnification, the stomata were visible with their guard cells, which is something we all only learn about in textbooks. <br/><img class="ql-image" src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/microcosmosdelta.appspot.com/o/post_media%2F7bhcIJKReGOxTcp0hTUgX7ZtD7o2%2Fnopid%2F4xmei7764w_WhatsApp%20Image%202026-06-12%20at%2016.55.09.jpeg?alt=media&amp;token=a0d00895-05bf-43ca-983c-3e604c3a55f6"/><img class="ql-image" src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/microcosmosdelta.appspot.com/o/post_media%2F7bhcIJKReGOxTcp0hTUgX7ZtD7o2%2Fnopid%2F0pvlov4k9p_WhatsApp%20Image%202026-06-12%20at%2016.55.11%20&#40;1&#41;.jpeg?alt=media&amp;token=810ed957-4bc8-43c0-9926-c8aff9d8478c"/><img class="ql-image" src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/microcosmosdelta.appspot.com/o/post_media%2F7bhcIJKReGOxTcp0hTUgX7ZtD7o2%2Fnopid%2Fnkrkz6en7k_WhatsApp%20Image%202026-06-12%20at%2016.55.11.jpeg?alt=media&amp;token=4114f694-1a7d-4703-924c-2b0cbb8f1758"/><img class="ql-image" src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/microcosmosdelta.appspot.com/o/post_media%2F7bhcIJKReGOxTcp0hTUgX7ZtD7o2%2Fnopid%2Frnrj1hr0yo_WhatsApp%20Image%202026-06-12%20at%2016.55.12.jpeg?alt=media&amp;token=04e28cff-8b51-40a4-ab13-27795d6471af"/></p>
