Turmeric Powder Observation
Yellow Pigment: Turmeric powder is known for its vibrant yellow
color, and when viewed under Foldscope, we'll notice the
presence of tiny, bright yellow particles. These particles are the
result of the curcumin compound, which is responsible for the
color of turmeric.
Irregular Granules: The texture of turmeric powder may appear
granulated, with irregularly shaped particles of varying sizes.
Some particles might be larger, while others are more finely
ground.

This sample was collected from kitchen of new mess
Dandruff Observation
Variation in Color: Depending on the individual's scalp health
and the specific dandruff type, we noticed variations in color,
ranging from white to yellow or even grayish.
Collected from?
From human hair
Cloth Fibre Observation
1. Fiber Arrangement: Cloth fibers are often woven or knitted
-Red Colour into a particular pattern. When observed closely, you can see
the arrangement of individual fibers, whether in a tight weave
or a loose knit.
2. Color: The color of cloth fibers will depend on the fabric's
dye and the material used. You can observe the pigmentation
or dye patterns within the fibers.
3. Impurities: Sometimes, cloth fibers might contain impurities
or foreign particles, such as lint or dust, which can be observed
within the fabric.
4. Fiber Damage: You might see signs of wear and tear, such as
frayed or damaged fibers, which can give you an idea of the
fabric's durability and condition.

Observation
Hereis an image of a human hair observed from foldscope,
especially the part towards its bulb. The tapering part is the
hair shaft. The thin black line is possibly the medulla of the hair
shaft given its small diameter.
Collected from?
From human head
Black Garden Ant Observation
Hers is the image of head of a black Garden Ant. The antennae
arising from the head are clearly visible. The hair-like
structures (marked by a red circle) are called psammophores
which are sometimes used to
carry sand. This is probably a worker ant as was apparent from
the p-site where the sample was collected due to its small size
and large number of similar ants around it.
Collected from?
From garden of our hostel (was already found dead)
