) | | | | | Microscopy Primer | | This is an excellent site that has a variety of virtual microscopes that students can explore. Each type of microscope has instructions for focusing, light adjustments, and magnification. Choose one of the microscope types and explore the various features of each. Select an organism and make a detailed drawing of it.

) | | | | | Cells Alive | | How big is an E.coli cell? If you could see everything that could be on the head of a pin, what would you see? Use the arrows to increase or decrease the magnification of the pin head to get an idea of how big certain cells and organisms are. What is the difference in size between red blood cells and an Ebola virus?
