Applications and Experiments for the Field Microscopy Kit
The kit takes microscopy out to ponds, tanks and streams: students collect a water sample, scan it in the Petri dish with the magnifying glass, then place a drop on a slide under the 400x microscope. It fits Class 6–12 science on microorganisms and habitats and introductory B.Sc. ecology fieldwork.
- Class 8 science: observing protozoa and algae from pond water during the microorganisms chapter.
- Class 11–12 biology and eco-clubs: comparing samples from different water bodies, with extra samples held in a glass Petri Dish (Set) back in the lab.
- B.Sc. ecology: recording the variety of freshwater microorganisms at several sites, with reagents or clean water dispensed from a 60 mL Dropping Bottle.
Wash hands after handling untreated water, and rinse and dry the slides and dish before packing the kit away.
