Microscopiok: Nature under the microscope

A few years ago, I was gifted a microscope. For a long time, it has been locked in a cupboard, sealed inside its case. Then, I started using it and became passionate about this instrument: I discovered that there is another world around us, a magical world populated by tiny creatures, capable of surprising us with its beauty.

Eager to share my shots, I created the Facebook page named Microscopiok. It was such a pleasant surprise to witness how the photographs of nature, observed through the lenses of the optical microscope, interest people of different ages and coming from very distant countries.

I wrote this easy guide because I think it would be helpful to those who are starting the exploration of the microscopic world. This is the guide I wished for when I began my observations!

Browsing the net, it happens to find very pleasant pictures obtained with an optical or electronic microscope through sophisticated techniques. However, even with simple, almost cheap instruments, some nice observations can be made.

Believe me!
