For this post, I wanted to post an observation of a sample I collected when dining at a French-Vietnamnese restaurant called Golden Lily. I collected numerous various samples when receiving my food, such as lemons, tomatoes, and onions. I placed a small portion of each of these samples under the microscope, but I was not able to find a piece clear enough the Foldscope, under 140 X. I ended up using an onion peel to observe. Below are the images I have acquired. <img class="ql-image" src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/microcosmosdelta.appspot.com/o/NaN%2FScreen%20Shot%202023-12-06%20at%2021.14.11.png?alt=media&amp;token=f3dee2db-6194-48b7-a001-a7df626de2a7"/> Onion peel under 140 X Magnification; The structure is varied, with inconsistent linings and patterns. <img class="ql-image" src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/microcosmosdelta.appspot.com/o/NaN%2FScreen%20Shot%202023-12-06%20at%2021.13.37.png?alt=media&amp;token=82babca9-38d9-4149-9aba-f097154a89e9"/> This is a picture of the onion and its outer skin. <img class="ql-image" src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/microcosmosdelta.appspot.com/o/NaN%2FScreen%20Shot%202023-12-06%20at%2021.38.44.png?alt=media&amp;token=1cb915a3-f1a2-4f82-bf1d-ee06e1c148bc"/> This is a picture of the cover sticker over the onion peel, mounted on a glass slide. It was fun looking under the Foldscope to observe different foods!
