One of the most common ferns - Dryopteris filix-mas occurring throughout much of Europe, Asia and North America. This one is from a forest near Warsaw. On the abaxial surface of the mature blade you can find sori in two rows. When the spores ripen the indusium start to shrivel, leading to the release of the spores - a reproductive structures.
This little 8mm spider found on moss from the forest represents one of the orb-weaver spiders (family Araneidae). It can often be found in gardens, fields and forests. Their common name is taken from the round shape of spiral wheel-shaped webs they make. Orb-weavers have eight similar eyes and eight hairy legs.

We are still exploring the possibilities of the MiScope. Lately we have been looking at different structures of stones and minerals witch you can find in Poland.
In our pfotos you can find a silverfish that our teacher caught in the bathroom. We looked at cereals and grains. Despite difficulties, we maeaged to recognize an apple and a blue cheese with pepper
