The sample is loaded

Cinnamon toast crunch (ctc) on the slide for examination

4x lense

It appears crunchy. Cinnamon and sugar clearly visible.

10x

Sugar detail

For closer inspection a sample must be prepared

Careful scraping of the outer surface

4x

Difficult to focus the microscope on the 3d shapes of the ctc sample

10x, oil suspension

Used an oil suspension to try to avoid dissolving the ctc crystals.

Bonus image 1

Aloe plant cross section taken using a microtome

Bonus 2

You can see the chloroplasts, and the waxy outer layer of the leaf that helps it hold moisture in dry environments

Bonus 3

Cell phone screen under 4x

Bonus 4

Cell phone screen closer

This site has ruined me, as I kept looking for the hidden badly photoshopped picture of Michael Cera in one of the images.

Is your phone Samsung/ does it have an OLED screen?! I remembered when I did the same thing and compared it to iPhone, it was different.....

10 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

Correct!

10 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

What's the difference?

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

An OLED is an array of diodes that emit light, most other screens are a layer that goes over a backlit region.

10 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

So basically points with light vs. a grid lit from behind. Also the weird pattern with two green for every red/blue is common in OLED.

It's because it has cinnamon sugar swirls in every bite. They say it in the commercials.
