Procedure

Our three samples were:

Iris

Rose of Sharon

Millet


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:

  1. Instead of using a slip, we put our sample directly on the microscope
  2. Focused on low
  3. Focused on high
  4. Took a picture!
Our third microscope was an SEM, and it can get the closest to the sample. 
  1. We used the light microscope to brush the pollen off the sample
  2. Brushed the pollen on to the stud
  3. Sprayed with air
  4. 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-
