Kids can set The Pocket Microscope on almost anything. These pictures were taken from its screen.
Around the house
Couch fabric. The weave of the threads shows up big.
Jeans. The diagonal lines of the denim.
A $10 bill. The fine printed lines around the eye.
Outside
A leaf. The veins and the tiny bumps on top of the leaf.
A tiny flower. The small parts in the middle of the flower.
An ant. Its legs and body, right on the screen.
More to try
A coin, a feather, a fingertip, salt or sugar crystals, or a bug from the garden.
Tip: set it flat with the clear base touching what you want to see, then turn the wheel slowly until the picture is sharp.
