There are plenty of small plants thriving in our yard right now, here are a few close ups of a small leaf (about an inch) from a foot tall plant, and then some close ups of both the leaf and the stamen of a pink poppy type flower growing on the edge of the property. It appears that while you can usually just make out individual cells at 60x, you really need at least 150x to see them clearly.

Transmitted light shot set of small inch sized leaf from a small leafy weed in the yard. About 60x. The small cells can just be made out, along with lots of pollen stuck to the plants surface.	150x view of the same leaf, now you can clearly see the cells as small jelly like blobs in between the veins on the leaf. The pollen is round and without detail.	At 600x, the depth of field is very limited but the round bag like cells are over the entire field, one larger pollen grain is on the left and three or four stomata can be seen. If you cant see the cells, you cant see stomata!
Pink poppy like flower at 60x. You can see the veins on the pink petal and many of the cells are starting to show.	At 600x the cells are stacked and interlaced in a peculiar way.	More interesting is the stamen. Here the triad shaped pollen is falling off the stamen body on the right. This is 60x.
Much more interesting at 150x, the pollen is an amazing triangular shape!	Finally, a close up at 600x showing several of the pollen triads. they are huge compared to pine pollen for example.
