Since I had more than enough to spare, I decided to look at powdered tea for my second Foldscope post.


 To prepare the slide, I added the tea to my slide and added a drop of water. I then tried to take clear pictures but many ended up blurry. When I looked, I saw what appeared to be specks of dirt.

 However, when I decided to move the sample a bit, I saw patches emerging, and I thought this was an interesting observation to see.
