This image was taken through the 100x oil objective and a 2x camera adapter projecting the image into a Nikon D7500. The sample is a leaf from one of my plants (Dioscorea elephantipes, but I don't think this picture would look very different for other plant species)

The edges of he leaf were already yellowish brown. Here is a photo of that area with much less chlorophyll:

And here is a photo through the 40x objective using oblique illumination:

If you want to see some really fantastic photos of plant stomata I recommend having a look at Rolf Vossen's photographs here: https://microscopyofnature.com/stomata

I am looking through his documentation trying to understand how he managed to get those images. They are spectacular.
