Pollen under the Microscope

The following images of pollen were captured by Hanny van Arkel, a biology teacher in the Netherlands, using a student microscope. You can view more of her pollen images here! The flowers with the pollen on them were brought into class by Hanny's twenty-six 13-year-old students.
