My name is Ken and I am super excited to share my interests of microscopy and plants, especially mosses and poisonous plants!
I have worked in various areas of science research but my hobby interest has always been with botany though.

Marginal Wood Fern Stomata
Probably the most magnified and detailed image I have captured yet of a fern leaf stomata. This was at 1000X using my 100X dry objective on my Motic BA310E. I hope you like it.

Hey everyone I decided to come over to Bluesky permanently in search of a better sense of community. Also, enjoy these images of a dandelion flower pappus.
