Hi this is Rohan Marwein and this is my first post on microcosmos, on the 14th of November, we the students of Me.E.C.L Secondary School Umiam from the 10th standard went for a small journey to the Panshet Dam, near Pune.
With the presence of 3 instructors, there we were told to find some samples from our surroundings and to observe it under a foldscope microscope. Though it was a very challenging task for each and every one of us but still we all could manage to observe one sample each under the foldscope microscope.
Within the surrounding, I was able to find a tiny black and grey colored insect from the river. There, I dissected the eye of that particular insect with a sharp blade and carefully placed it on the glass slide and covered it through a coverslip. Then I inserted that glass slide under the foldscope microscope to observe it more clearly and to get a clear maximized zoom image of the eye. Using my phone I could see very tiny particles which were not visible through our naked eye. Within it, I could observe a small yellow rounded shaped structures with black dots in it. On the rounded edges of the eye, I could also observe a small snaked shaped structures in it.
