On Wednesday, I practiced taking pictures through the microscope. How I do it is I have to position the camera lens over the microscope eye piece so that they line up so that the camera can get a good picture of what is in the microscope. My camera is an Insignia 10 megapixel with 3x optical zoom. It has a very small lens, which is why we can use it for this purpose, and an LCD display on the back.
Here are some of the pictures I took.
Snow crystals:
Snake skin:
Moss:
The edge of the giant waterbug's body:
Up until now, my mom has taken the photographs through the school microscope for me. Now I can take the photos myself.
