What is this?
A microscope is an amazing science tool that makes very tiny objects look much bigger than they really are. It helps us explore a hidden world of cells, germs, and other super small things that we can't see with just our eyes.
Key Parts to Explore
Eyepiece
This is the part where you look with your eye to see the magnified image of your sample.
Objective Lenses
