After the tardigrade sample collection (mentioned in a previous post), the dry samples of lichen were soaked in water overnight. Then water samples and lichen samples were observed under the Foldscope. We could observe many micro organisms and also tardigrades. Some of these beautiful creatures appeared transparent under our Foldscope and some showed brown colouration.
