RE: [Killietalk] Preparing slides

["Lorraine" <overall077 at lycos_com>]

I have 2 microscopes with digital camera's one high resolution and 1 low
power, I just think it would be more fun for them to get to play with the
microscopes, I know little kids have difficulty looking through they
eyepiece and they can use the microscope hooked to the computer. I know my
kids are really excited when they bring something into focus and it becomes
real to them. Looking at a picture is not nearly so fun.

         I have another DIY  solution, you have a camera, take pictures of 
the various stages etc..........  then you can make prints for display 
laminated, or project them from a laptop,   Attachments for microscopes are 
not expensive, and some people even use some of the digital scopes sold in 
toy stores,  I think "digital Blue" is one  there are others.

         Attached is a very low resolution small image taken through a 
microscope .. it does work and people can hold the image instead of trying 
to focus a microscope.......  Just a thought
