Hello Everyone,
Recently,I’ve been on a trip to my village Ratnagiri and I decided to take the foldscope along. It was awesome.Sadly, I haven’t been able to take pictures of a few observations but I have tried to get many of them.This is going to be a long post so I better type less.
Enjoy 🙂

the filament on the extreme right looks a bit different I suspected that it could be just a degrading cell.So I preserved the algae sample for a few days and found out that all the filaments looked like that.

These are pictures of a type of grass that I’ve found growing in the wild. Couldn’t get proper macroscopic picture but I’ve got the foldscope pictures. This picture isn’t of the grass I’ve foldscoped but the one I’ve foldscoped was strikingly similar.
