Community Microscope Kit
Using simple materials, we’ve developed a microscope kit you can build yourself - the result of many teams’ work coming together!
Introducing the Community Microscope
Explore the invisible microscopic world around you with an affordable microscope kit you construct yourself!
When you get a kit, please use the hashtags #communitymicroscope and #communityscience to post your unboxing and build photos -- and tag us with @PublicLab on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram
Activities
Activities should include a materials list, costs and a step-by-step guide to construction with photos. Learn what makes a good activity here.
