The next two photos are SEM scans of Poppy pollen. Poppy pollen has three apertures and no pores. Compared to the Poinsettia pollen,  Poppy pollen is more round and circular. They resemble peas out of the pod. However, some of the pollen are oddly shaped.

The next two photos are SEM scans of Raspberry pollen. It is hard to see the texture of the surface, but it seems as if there are spots and markings, but not deep enough to be pores. The pollen as three apertures. Two of the apertures can be seen, the third one is on the other side. The shape of the pollen is shaped as a football as well, but not as pointed at the edges like the Poinsettia pollen.
