Adventures In Microscopy: Green Bean Pollen
Challenging to find (the flowers do not have large prominent anthers), but worth the effort to put under my Foldscope 2.0 at 140X magnification (+5X zoom). Enjoy!

Physics is the poetry of the universe—explaining everything from falling apples to bending spacetime. It’s the study of how reality works, from the smallest particles to the largest galaxies. 🍎🌌 #PhysicsFun #ScienceIsBeautiful #PhysicsLovers

Adventures In Microscopy: Bubbles
Changing perspectives
We usually think of bubbles as fragile & light.
But under the microscope, bubbles are massive and solid, and easily push things out of the way.
