Leica Dissecting Microscope Digital Pictures

Columbine Pollen (35x)
The pollen is very small, it's hard to see the shape at this magnification. However, the flower shape is fairly simple so the parts, including the anthers, are very easy to find. 

 Rose of Sharon Pollen (35x)
The flowers were not very intact, so the pollen was not necessarily around the anthers. The pollen is very large in comparison to the others, and takes the form of large, spikey spheres. They're slightly shiny and easily visible.

Snapdragon Pollen (35x)
Snapdragons have very hard to find anthers, and the pollen is quite small. It seems to stick with other bits of pollen in clumps and I'm curious as to how we managed a sky blue background.
