Then take a close-up look at animal bone marrow, cartilage and fur; the slime on your teeth in the morning; pollen and grass; stinging nettles; and many other objects. Dozens of amazing colour photographs and drawings show the fabulous world that a microscope will reveal. Fascinating science projects encourage children to embark on their own microscopic explorations. Open up a whole new world: have fun and learn about science at the same time.
