Welcome to the Microscopic World
We take great pleasure in introducing you to the world of the microscope.
Your new microscope is an instrument with lenses for making very small
objects appear much larger so they can be studied. There are millions of
tiny living plants and animals that can be easily seen with your
microscope.
In today's technological world every science from the most fundamental
biology to the highly skilled field of astro-physiology use microscopes.
Microscopes are used by geologists for studying rocks and minerals,
archaeologists who study very old items, police departments who can
study very small pieces of evidence, and even by astronomers when
they study fallen meteorites. Your microscope will let you see the basic
building blocks of life on Earth.

- Page 7 Power is a measure of the seeing ability of your microscope. It is really a short way of saying “magnifying power.” Your microscope has three powers. They are 300X (pronounced “300 times”), 600X, and 1,200X. This means that your microscope can magnify the view of a sample so that it appears 300 times, 600 times, or 1,200 times larger than the way you see it with your eyes alone.
