In the electron microscope, I scanned three different types of bugs and pollen. I literally put the taped magnets inside of a flower to collect different organisms and collected them in the tube without much concern. So my first surprise was actually finding out the number of bugs and pollen I ended up collecting. The second thing that interested me, was the complexity of the organisms, and the places where you zoomed so far in that you didn’t even recognize the original subject (where your brain filled in landscapes/context for the unrecognizable images).
