I saw an old book at a ABF meeting which had blown up microscope pictures in
color of different pollens.

Has been years ago. I wish I had purchased the book as I have never saw a
copy since.

Does the list know the title of the book (author). Availability?

I remember the book was mostly pictures and I was going to purchase but  a
presentation started and when I went back later the book was gone.

With the book and even a 400 power microscope I would think you could ID
pollen let alone with a dissecting microscope found in biology classrooms.

The book said pollen grains are like snowflakes in that each type of pollen
has a distinct shape.
