Blackhead

This is a magnified image of an extracted blackhead. My roommate’s boyfriend was sitting in front of the mirror popping his pimples. We were excited to investigate what these ubiquitous follicle invaders looked like close-up. Thank you to Joe for the sample!

The scale bar was estimated by calibrating the foldscope using manually delineated 1 mm lines and measuring that distance in the image reference frame.
