If I was given the chance to be an organelle, I would rather mute into a chloroplast, so magnificently coiled as the ones Spirogyra exhibits. It definitely must be amazing to make oxigen and organic compounds staring at the sun.
This is my very first attempt with foldscope, lacking high amplification lens and led light, but obstinacy can be profitable sometimes.
Cheers!
