Sample was obtained at 5:05 pm by picking a leaf off of the bushes outside Ruddock in the courtyard. This is a microscopic view of part of the top layer of the leaf, which I got by scraping the leaf with an X-Acto knife.

Sample was obtained at 4:11 pm from the flower picked from the bushes between Linde and Bridge. This is a close-up view of one of the hairs on its stem. You can see the jagged edges of the super-fine hair.

Sample was obtained at 4:18 pm from a fern-looking bush off San Pasqual (method of obtainment: picking). This is a microscopic view of the browned tip of a fern leaf, and you can see some of the plant cells.

Sample was obtained at 10:37 am by picking a leaf from the bushes outside of Ruddock’s RLZ entrance. The resolution on this image is not very high because I couldn’t get it into thin layers. However, you can kind of see the veining in the leaf.

Sample was obtained at 10:45 am by picking a flower off of the ground under a purple flowering tree outside of Chandler. This is a microscopic view of its pistil, where you can see the individual hairs.
