We took three different types of pictures of our pollen, with three different microscopes. The easiest and most simple one was the light microscope.
Here are the steps we took:
1. Brushed the pollen off the sample and on to the slide
2. Added a drop of water on top of the slide
3. Applied the coverslip
4. Focused on low
3. Focused on medium
4. Focused on high
5. Took a Picture!
The second kind of microscope we used was a Leica, and it looks like this:
- Instead of using a slip, we put our sample directly on the microscope
- Focused on low
- Focused on high
- Took a picture!
Our third microscope was an SEM, and it can get the closest to the sample.
- We used the light microscope to brush the pollen off the sample
- Brushed the pollen on to the stud
- Sprayed with air
- Inserted our stud into the microscope
5. Zoomed in on our pollen
6. Took a picture and downloaded it on our drive
Here are the pictures we got-
