 Hey guys,


 This is my first post in Microcosmos and I am really excited about it.


 So, many of the school and college students perform this experiment to observe mitosis. So i tried to view the slide prepared by myself on the foldscope and behold! it was beautiful.


 Here are some of the pictures:

 Here you can see the different stages of mitotic division. If you zoom in the cells will be clearly defined. I could spot only late Prophase, Anaphase, late Anaphase and Telophase. And this is the my best shot:

 Here you can see all the three phases mentioned above.


 Metaphase is quite difficult to spot as the protocols should be followed with least possible error. I am no expert so i didn’t get one.


 So, this would be the end of my post. Until next time


 Goodbye!
