Microscopes
To complete this activity, you will be using a virtual microscope. You can access the virtual
microscope at:
http://www.udel.edu/biology/ketcham/microscope/
First, you should view the seven minute instructional video (click on the highlighted link).
Test your skills using the virtual microscope by clicking on the highlighted link. View the tour
in the “Getting Started” box on the right hand side of the page. View each of the four slides
(“e”, onion root tip, bacterial capsule, cheek cell) at each level of magnification and sketch
what you see.
