I had just bought some baby cucumbers from the store and cut off a tiny piece to observe under the foldscope. It still appears very green, and there are many visible cells. I would also like to put a piece of a mature, fully grown cucumber under magnification. I'm interested in seeing if there is much of a physiological difference between the two. I believe that the baby cucumber likely has larger, more water-filled cells, as it was still in its growing phase.
