Product Information
Introduce junior and senior high school students to the world of microscopy with inexpensive, unbreakable microslides. Microslides consist of a strip of film with eight photomicrographs, each reproduced exactly as you would see them through a professional microscope under ideal conditions. You can supply all your students with their own microslides. A detailed text folder is included. Viewers are available separately.
One of the most important things a scientist does in his or her research is to measure. This set introduces students to the art and science of
micrometry - making measurements through a microscope of objects too small to be seen with the naked eye. Covers the use of both eyepiece and stage micrometers.
