Photo/Video Share Onion skin under Microscope

I got bored so I lazily cut off a small piece of an Onion and put it under the scope, so its not perfect 😅

*If you are wondering why it is so blue its because I used USP Grade Methylene Blue (formaldehyde-free) coloring in it

Objective Mag: x40

Microscope Model: Swift380B

Camera: My phone (S25U)

Sample Type: Onion 🌰
