"In this edition of HowStuffWorks, we will enter the tiny world of light microscopes and examine the various technologies that let them expose what is otherwise undetectable to the human eye."

"This instructable will show you how to build a stand for about $10 that will transform your smartphone into a powerful digital microscope. This DIY conversion stand is more than capable of functioning in an actual laboratory setting. With magnification levels as high as 175x, plant cells and their nuclei are easily observed!  In addition to allowing the observation of cells, this setup also produces stunning macro photography."

Good simulation of using a microscope to examine a slide. Would be a great preparation for actual microscope use or a station.

"This is a newly revised 3 minute HD dramatic video choreographed to powerful music, which introduces the viewer to the wonder and miracle of cells. It is designed as a motivational "trailer" to be shown by Biology, Biochemistry and Life Science teachers in middle and high school and college as a visual "Introduction" to this amazing microscopic world."

"This particular algal species, commonly found in polluted water, is often referred to as "pond scum". As the movie switches to a 20x lens and then the 40x, watch closely, toward the center of each cell in the strand, for the cell nucleus. It's right near the middle and shows as a round object that is near transparent, but once you see it, you will see others. "
