Microscopy

Your supplies:
2 Artifacts
1 Test Tube

Now let's do this!


The main objective in this project is to test the ability to use a microscope. Objectives will be tested.

Start off on lowest magnification possible, find the desired area, and magnify!

There is a part just below the microscope call the condenser. It has an iris under microscope. If no light is coming through, the iris must be twisted. So of course, this is a sign that there's a little bit of microscope anatomy we need to touch up on first!

Next, we checked out some infected pork! That one was very interesting to see up close! It looked somewhat like the following...

Notice the three chunked spots. That, we concluded, is the infection. Pretty nasty, but neat, right??

Microscopes are awesome! Just with one little peek through, one's world can be completely magnified! Very nifty tool that everyone should have to experience in playing with!
