Microscopes enable us to visualize the hidden world around us. Imagine being able to turn your own cell phone into a handheld microscope! Antonie van Leeuwenhoek was a microscopist who was the first to observe bacteria and protozoa. In this project you will explore Leeuwenhoek microscopes and make a prototype of your own with custom-made lenses that attach to your phone. This will involve 3D modeling and 3D printing your designs to turn your phone into a high-magnification custom microscope! For students entering grades 5-12 who are students in the Manchester, NH school district.
