Microscopy for fun

Interesting. I don't recall ever seeing one like that before.
They're a specialist item. They work exactly like a traditional microscope, except that they are rearranged so that the light comes from above, and the lenses are below.

I collect pond stuff in a Petri dish, the put the dish on the stage. Looking through the eyepieces, I see the things that creep about on the bottom - at the same magnification you get with a tradition microscope.
 
I was delighted to discover that there are "nature" stores in large cities that sell science stuff.

I've never understood why or how people loose their natural love of science as they get older. Growing sounds like a drag. I'm glad I never did it.
I was exceptionally fortunate that starting at age 10 people took me under their wing to go fossil collecting. I saved up my allowance for a large volume of Index Fossils of North America.
