Seeing the Flower Parts Under a Digital MIcroscope

I did this activity from the Science Checkpoint TB, activity 1.4.

I took several flowers from the garden and from nearby plants to see the parts under my digital microscope.

This is the first flower:


 I've no idea what flower this is
I named it Fluffy Pink Flower.

First peel the sepals. There are 5 sepals here


 
This is how the sepals look like under the microscope
Second: peel the petals off.
There are 14 petals.















This is the stamen. It doesn’t have any pollen yet.




This is the ovary being opened. That small thing poking out is the ovum.

Then...... we stop, because the rest of the parts are too small, and it's hard to manage it, so we changed to another flower

This is the second flower. It is much bigger than the first flower.


This is the polen of that red flower. There are so many!
At the right are the anthers.






  
And this is the filament.

But for the ovum and ovule, it's too small to be seen.

This is the third flower. It is very strange. All of the parts are visibly shown.

Below are the stamens.

And right below are the anthers.





And these are the filaments.







And this is the
stigma.








And this is the ovary cut open, but the ovule is accidently cut open.










Next is the fourth flower. The last flower!


















And this is the flower's stamens, which are very beautiful.




And these are the anthers.

And this is the ovary carefully cutted open, and you can see the ovule there.
