Adventures with a Microscope

With a simple microscope and the clear instructions in “Adventures with a Microscope,” young scientists can explore the fascinating world hidden from the naked eye. Richard Headstrom describes dozens of easy experiments using common materials, showing how to examine everything from crystals, fibers, and plant cells to tiny forms of animal life. Detailed drawings help identify specimens and guide the reader through each investigation.
