Monday October 22nd

Today we started the Second Lesson in the Macro to Micro Book which deals with microscopes.

The goals were:
1. Learn the parts of the microscope.
2. Understand the history behind the microscope.
3. Discover what happens to the diameter of field and magnification of the specimen under different objectives.

Students can reference the "Getting Started" Lesson.  Read the Macro to Micro entry on pages 13-16.  Have an answer to Question #5 on p. 16. 

Also study the handout on parts of the microscope and page 14 of the above text reading.

Here is a picture from our investigations today using hand lenses, a lead in to the compound microscope.
