More interesting than a microscope, perhaps, can only be a microscope with a high resolution and magnification. A very interesting device with which you can learn a lot about the world around us. Microscopes are different in design, even without a single lens (using a drop of liquid with a high refractive index as an optical element). Despite the complexity of the design, an amateur microscope can be assembled at home.
It is necessary
Two lenses of 10 diopters each, glue, paper, plywood
Instructions
Step 1
Take a hard sheet of paper and paint one side black. Then we glue a tube from it (colored inward) with a length of 10 centimeters, and make its diameter to match the diameter of the lens. Saw the tube in half. One part will be the eyepiece and the other part will be the lens.
Step 2
Next, we make another tube 20 centimeters long, it will be the tube of the microscope. From the inside, it should also be painted black. The diameter of the tube should be such that the first two tubes enter it with an interference fit.
Step 3
After that, in the first two tubes we make a bed for the lenses, i.e. glue cardboard rings into the eyepiece and objective tubes (their inner diameter should be less than the lens diameter). We put the lenses in them and fix them with another ring on top. The rings should also be painted black. We insert the tubes of the eyepiece and objective into the tube. The microscope is ready, then it's up to the tripod.
Step 4
Making a simple C-shaped tripod. Two plywood half rings 4 centimeters wide are parallelly fastened to each other with wooden cubes at three points, two at the edges of the half rings and the third closer to one of the edges. You will get a semicircular holder, on one of the ends of which the microscope tube is attached with a bracket, the stage is fixed at the other end, and the third point is fastened with a wooden platform, which will be the bed.
