After taking the pics of the mites, I figured since I had the microscope out, may as well have a look at a few things!

Image
Nepenthes seed closeup 40x

Image
D. burmanii 100x

Image
P. weser - sticky hair/glands 40x

Image
As above 100x

Image
Once more, 1000x

Image
Baby VFT cilia, 40x

Image
As above, 100x

Image
Same VFT, cells inside the trap - plenty of chloroplasts visible

Image
Same VFT, closed stomata with the surrounding guard cells visible

Image
P. weser - chloroplasts, and cell walls visible

Image
As above, a little bit closer

Image
Amazingly, was able to see the nuclei in some of the cells. Didn't think I would be able to without some prep to the slide, but there it is! Picture isn't the greatest unfortunately.

edit- after seeing the pic on here, I think its just something else in the interstitial space, isn't within the cell so not the nuclei!

Hope you enjoyed!
