microscope photos

These are some of my microscope photos from yesterday's post.


It appears that a leaf is made up of segments. And in this case some parts are
still yellow and the other parts have turned brown.

i-Pad microscope

We created a simple microscope out of LEGO and an i-Pad.
Then we assembled several samples to observe them through
our microscope. For most of the samples we shone light through, to
discover what they look like. 

The most amazing results were obtained with a pear stem, a printed paper,
some moss fresh off the soccer field (....yuummmie!) and a leaf.
I will post the photos tomorrow.
