Here is an image captured from a foldoscope of the small, yellow, oval pollen particulates from the stamen sample from White Hibiscus flowers. This was obtained by removing the flower of a white hibiscus plant outside of JCAP (Joint Center for Artificial Synthesis) at Caltech (91126-0001 Pasadena, CA) on 7:26 PM on 5/31/2019, and then its stamen were removed by pulling them from the flower, and they were crushed and placed under the lens cover on the slide. They were then photographed using an iPhone XR using a foldoscope.
