Cannabis Microscopy

I just got my microscope from my parent’s house and tried mounting a couple bud samples using water. The results aren’t that spectacular. Anyone have some tips for making better slides of cannabis?

I have Methylene Blue and Eosin Y that I plan to use to make mycelium slides next.

Hi @scryptic

That is very interesting and pretty. I wonder what the shapes in the first pictures are? The 3rd picture as below, you can clearly see the tricomes.

I dont have a clue about microscopy, but youtube and google is your friend.

Please post more pictures or video if you have, they are very cool pieces of art!

That one is actually a hair. It has what looks like trichomes in the microscopy picture but those must be something else because hairs don’t have trichomes as far as I know.

Lol, a stigma. I will have to fire up the scope again. I believe that’s 40x
