This is my final post for these three samples, the tomato peel, tomato flesh, and pollen.
Here are my photographs for the tomato peel.
The cells, cellular shape, and structure are clearly visible in these photographs. These photos were taken facing a light, hence the light scattering gave it a slightly greenish tint. We can see that the cells are tightly packed and and polygonal.
Next, the tomato flesh sample.
View in Media Gallery
We can see the parenchyma cells and the sample seems to be semi transparent.
Finally, the pollen samples. The sunflower pollen was circular, bright yellow, and had thick black spikes around it. The frangipani and periwinkle sample showed clear lines within the semi-transparent, coffee bean cells.
In my next post, I will be covering a leaf sample.
