Microscopy photographs, I was only a bio minor so forgive any scientific transgressions. The photos are more for the sake of art anyway and thus are likely missing magnifications and setups.
A composite image of a brine shrimp under low magnification with a polarized filter.
A purple flower petal under a low magnification with a polarized filter. Note how the polarization turns the cells that make up the petal’s veins gold.
A mint leaf from my deck garden under medium magnification. This photo is focus stacked so the long cells that make up the vein in the center are in focus.
Also note the stoma which appear all over the surface.
The surface of a waxy leaf.
Dried leaf vein structure with the fleshy cells removed. They were stripped with a paint brush and sitting in boiling water with a bit of washing soda dissolved in it. This produces one of the most unpleasant “teas” I’ve ever had the misfortune of smelling.
