Those flower petals allow for the cell wall of the cell to be seen. Also, since this photo was taken near the base of the petal, there are a lot of ‘veins’ which are used for structural support and water transport. One of those are seen in the dark line in the photo.
This sample was collected at 2:40AM on 5/31/19 in the Ath. parking lot.
This sample was imaged by cleaning the glass slide and slide cover with a cue-tip. The Pink flower petal was then placed onto the slide, and the cover was taped down to prevent the sample from moving around. The foldoscope was then rested onto a phone that was displaying a white background and a second phone was used to record the image. The phone was used over ambient light so that a more precise light control could be used. The magnification of the foldoscope was changed until the picture was clearly in focus. A photo was then taken of the specimen.
