For our second experiment on our fourth day at our science course, Exploring the Microcosm, we looked at the pollen of a pumpkin flower under 3 different magnifications, 50x, 140x and 340x. It was very difficult to spot at 50x. It&#x27;s oval shaped, with tapering ends, and a line down the center, like coffee beans. Making this sample was also easy, as I&#x27;d had plenty of practice with preparing pollen samples from before. <img class="ql-image" src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/microcosmosdelta.appspot.com/o/post_media%2Fh6B4wAPH0XYYUqtNwTsrC5cUn1I3%2Fnopid%2F5of7ot3voe_fcgb%20jb.JPG?alt=media&amp;token=a77b4416-8331-4cbf-a1ba-f80ecd025a7c"/> It is barely visible at 50x. <img class="ql-image" src="https://firebasestorage.googleapis.com/v0/b/microcosmosdelta.appspot.com/o/post_media%2Fh6B4wAPH0XYYUqtNwTsrC5cUn1I3%2Fnopid%2F637su2hq7e_bf%20esg%20s.JPG?alt=media&amp;token=41a91668-a722-4055-b29a-f4f7c9919c06"/> The structure was clearly visible at 140x.
