This book gives young scientists all they need to know to begin using microscopes, discovering the unseen world all around them.

Along with simple but informative explanations of how to use a microscope and how to prepare slides, this book is packed with activities that get students observing the microscopic world.

With the accompanying learning guide, a student is guided in using an elementary-level microscope to look at things such as a talcum powder, table salt, sugar, parts of insects and pond water.
