Location: This petal sample was taken from outside of Page house. Page house is a building on the campus of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, California.
Time: The sample was taken on May 30th at 16:13
The sample was obtained by taking a petal from the flower pictured below. I cut a small section of a stuck it onto the sticky Foldscope slide.
Description: In the image, we can see small circles. These are most likely the cells of the flower. The entire flower had an orange pigment, which can also be seen on this image. The line that runs through the image is a vein of the flower. Here the petal was thicker and had a lighter pigment. It is probably used to transport water and nutrients throughout the petal.

Here is an image of the flower from which the petal was taken. It was on a large bush growing on a wall.
