I got my foldscope a few weeks ago and I spent many days learning how to use it. My cousin, who is doing bio-tech , helped me a lot in preparing slides and taking photos.


 Following are the pictures of pollen grains of hibiscus plant in our garden taken with Moto G (5 mega pixel camera) through 140x lens. I couldn’t show you images through 400x because I am still not good with it.

 I would like you , (the viewers) to suggest me experiments related to this , if any. I would definitely try them out.
