About a month ago, Mom bought a microscope for me to use with my Biology class. Even though Biology isn't my favorite class (it's very hard and challenging) playing with the microscope is the highlight and fun part of the class for me.
WELL. Last night Mom fell and scraped up her knee. Thankfully, she is okay. But befor Mom cleaned all that blood up, she said to herself, "I think Austin might like to see this under the microscope". So that's what we did. We put some of Mom's blood on a slide and looked at it under the microscope. It was really neat. As Mom put it, "Why waste perfectly good blood?"
But here's the really cool part. With her point-and-shoot camera, she was able to take photos of what we saw though the microscope!!!!:) I had tried with my big camera, but it didn't work. My camera lens was too big. But Mom's smaller lens worked perfect!!
Here's some of the pictures Mom took:(top to bottom)
1)Mom's blood cells

That's all-but isn't it neat?!?!
