Extra Long Sidelight Curtains

photos through the microscope in the classroom? What are

photos through the microscope in the classroom?

  • There are many commercial solutions to fit a camera to a microscope, they are expensive, and therefore rarely used by students. Yet the educational impact of a picture they made themselves from their own cells is very different from a picture in a book. However, current digital cameras - preferably the cheap equipped with small goals - and those integrated into their phones often well suited for photos through the microscope or a binocular: just press down the camera lens on the eye and the center. Sharpness at infinity is no other in general.

    The main difficulty is to find - And maintain - a position that aligns the optical axes of the microscope and camera. With a little patience we finally see a bright circle in the center.

    quality or authenticity!
    Obviously these photos were not the quality of those school books or sites such as the virtual microscope

    , or

    drawing or photo? Should we then replace the picture by drawing in the labs and TP? It seems that some people consider, other utter loud cries. I think the question is wrongly put: It seems rather to look for ... ... what use of the photo and drawing allows students to learn better? One example would be captioned photos and build a design model from multiple pictures, or studying the photo of the student and then draw from the microscopic structures that he then understood to be those that are important, etc..
