Procedure


First, we picked 3 different plants:

Then we checked out a computer and got a microscope. We used the tools in the clear box to put pollen on the clear slides that you can see on the yellow tray. Those slides were then looked at in the microscopes(top left corner) on 400x.    The third step is that we used the tools in the clear box to get pollen from each plant and put a good amount of it on our stub. 


Our fourth step was to look at the pollenated slides through the microscope through a camera that is connected to and shows up on our computer.



This is our stub:



Fifthly, you then have to spray the stub with a can of air(as you can see below) to make sure the pollen is secure and on the stub.



Sixthly, after our stub is completely finished we then looked at the pollen on the SEM's.



The seventh step was to take the images we saved on our USB from the SEM and upload them to the computer.



Our eighth and final step was to then look at the pollen in the Leica Stereomicroscope.
