Hairfall is one of the many things that may happen while you are combing your hair. Some of these hair apparently have a whitish ‘bulb’ at their root portion.
I wondered how this would look magnified. Made a slide of it and observed it through foldscope. The foldscope had polarizing filters attached to it and I just wondered whether this ‘bulb’ would ‘light up’. And here, it did so 😍
As you can see…
A video here too, showing the hair
Cheers to the lights!
