I have a few student microscopes in my classroom, but my students will not be able to share them this year. Last year's class was fascinated by the many different types of cells found within the human body, and I would like to provide the same opportunity for this year's students. While I have one fairly good microscope, I do not have a high quality microscope with enough magnification for us to observe single-celled organisms. I cultured paramecium and other single-celled organisms so my students could observe them, but we were disappointed to discover that we were unable to see them as more than small dots. My project will provide me with a quality, high magnification microscope and camera that I can use to show the students videos of cultured microorganisms and cells. This trinocular microscope and camera combination will enable me to focus the lens while also recording the view, and will make it possible for all of the students to see the viewing field at the same time. Students will make observations and design possible experiments we can test, while maintaining social distancing. The microscope camera can be connected directly to my computer, and I will be able display real-time video on a classroom smart TV.
