Homemade microscope 2

We're also working on this project:

It has involved a lot of measuring, sawing, drilling, swearing, trial and error and fun.

The inventor of this microscope claims it just takes 20 minutes to build. Yeah, right...

Drills and saws were in short supply, but thankfully our class members abound in a spirit of cooperation and sharing!

Only one student actually managed to complete the microscope by the end of class but she only got it to work for about a nanosecond before the image went out of focus.

We're talking very fine tolerances when drilling a hole for the lens and positioning it just right.

So the building and testing continues - watch this space...
