SESSION
This session started
with exposure of students with the foldscope.The intact origami paper was shown
to the students and then when this paper was folded in proper scientific
specifications, it becomes a paper microscope- The foldscope. Then permanent
slides of pollen grains of different species of Indian mangrove floras,
transverse section (T.S) of kidney, lungs, Thyroid glands, algae, mucor, human
blood smear, peels of onion cells were observed under foldscope and demonstrated
to the students.
