Microscope Images The microcosm in the world around us Updated: 7/24/21

 I got my first microcope when I was six years old, and this interest grew over the next 5 years until telescopes became my prime interest. This was replaced in 1968 when I was 10 by telescopes and astronomy. Recently, we purchased a low power stereo and high power trinocular microscopes and have been rediscovering nature in a new way. Here are some of our results with these microcsopes, each topic covers a small part of the huge range of possibilities for micro imaging! Our microscopes include an Amscope 7x - 45x stereo trinocular, and 40x - 2000x trinocular standard.
