These are microscopic pictures of my fingers. It looks really cool, I wonder what are these black dots on my fingers. I was hoping I could see more than just black dots.









These are microscopic pictures of my eye and mouth. It looks really awesome. These were taken in class. I was hoping to find some microscopic creatures but I didn’t, but you can see the nice close up detail of my beautiful face. The microscope stand is made of cardboard.
Here is the first microscope design I created. This initial model is just a version that will be refined for a final design. I like the acrylic and metal hardware but want to refine the overall shape as well as the system for focusing the camera


And here are some images taken with the microscope…
1-3. Images of hydra




4. surface of my tongue with interesting effect from camera

5. surface of dried mycelium

I went through two rounds of prototyping my micro scope structure. Initially there was a LED stand beside the micro scope stand, however after we actually hacked the web cam I realized I can use the LED lights on the web cab themselves as light source.
