Cells in the leaf of an Orthotricum sp. moss at 600x magnification

We put a tiny clump of moss under the stereo microscope and detached a single leaf from the plant. We then transferred the leaf to the high powered microscope, got it into focus, and took a photo down the eye piece. This is the result. You can clearly see the cell structure and shape and also the green chloroplasts within the cells.
