If we were in school, we could use an actual microscope.  But, we can still get a feel for the microscope in an online environment.

Check out this virtual microscope.  

Feel free to look at some slides by clicking on "EXPLORE" when you get there.   

Be sure to look at:

  • "Letter E" (found in the "Sample Cells"
  • at least one "Plant Cell" 
  • at least one "Animal Cell"
