We were exploring Hibiscus pollen as part of Day 3 of the Exploring the Microcosm course, and here are some pictures and observations.
Hibiscus pollen at 50x. It's obviously circular, and has little bumps and spikes all over it.
Many pollen at 140x. The focus isn't quite right, but the bumps and spikes are still visible.
Pollen at 340x. The foldscope is focused onto a thinner spot of pollen, and a pinkish dot is visible, which I found to be very pretty.
