When you look at a leaf, you can feel the lines as you gently run your fingers across the rough dry sheet.  Rarely, do you think about the perfections of a leaf.  Under the Foldscope those lines become apparent and it’s easy to see how complex leaves truly are.  Through, a series of organized events these leaves are responsible to help the process of photosynthesis.  A system so beautifully organized to help create this self sustaining life, we know as plants.  This was a great way for me to explain a short explanation about the light being absorbed and how this leaf played an important role to the tree it was on.  This slide creates imagination, curiosity, and a love for Science.  We love our Foldscopes!!!
