The Fern Rhizome was the first “thing” I observed under a foldscope. And when I looked in, I felt like I was observing a cartoon drawing and not something alive. The details were so clear, I was easily able to observe the fern rhizome.
This is the Fern Rhizome at the 50X level. Here, it looks quite detailed and wide spanned. At the center is a bunch of black cells with a reddish tint. Surrounding it are turquoise cells with a membrane like structure. Then there are pink coloured cells bound within another turquoise membrane like structure. Also, certain impurities are visible in the turquoise cells.
This is the Fern Rhizome at the 140X level. Here, we notice that the pink cells are actually double membrane bounded, and so are the black cells.
The Fern Rhizome at the 340X level is quite detailed. We can observe the presence of many colours in each black cell. Also, there is a black coloured gap between each outer pink cell, and the impurities or contents (I do not know which - please comment if anyone knows) of the blue cells are clearly visible as well as at the 140X level.
These are the observations I made using the Foldscope 2.0.
