Pollen grains under scattered light. Note the dispersed nature of the elongated grain structures.
The image show pollen from a red rose flower (genus Rosa), under scattered light (generated using a mobile-phone flashlight). The sample was obtained from the plantations in front of Avery House residence at Caltech’s campus (1200 East California Boulevard, Pasadena, CA) around 7:00 pm local time (CA) on May 31st, 2019. The flower was cut using a scissor, and the pollen was extracted using a wet cotton swab.
Note the dispersed nature of the elongated grain structures, as well as, the opacity of the different portions of the structure.
