Build a microscope!

Step 6Assembly

assembly
Place the monocular on top of the objective lens. Make a small wooden block or any other object to space the monocular on top of the objective lens. perhaps a plastic cap, or something similar is needed to align both parts. You can use the thread for the red filter to fasten it. (Every magnifier is different, a spacer example is the the wooden part of the intro.)

If you need to add an objective lens (they are often 'missing' in 2nd hand stores) you need to make an aluminum disk, which can be set in the mount by a screw. See step 7 for pic, the zoom lens.

Now tape or clamp the monocular in place. READY!

Try the microscope on an insect or a small flower. Enjoy the view!

But no kidding; you can do science with it!

No more fun than demolition, designing, building, experimenting! I like making things on a really low budget , so most people in this world, who are poor, might benefit from my ideas
