ting through a microscope. Apart from that, you
will also need the sea salt to make a salt solu-
tion, in which you will hatch your brine shrimp.
Yeast
The yeast in your experiment set is included as
feed for the brine shrimp. If you feed them regu-
larly, you will be able to watch how they grow.
Gum media
This material is a glue that you can use to make
permanent prepared specimens.
Prepared slides „Honeybee," "Fabric"
(material), "Shrimp" and "Butterfly Wings"
Different prepared slides that you can investi-
gate using your microscope.
Empty vials
You can keep a few samples in the empty vials
(e.g. leaves, and, etc.)
Cover slips
You use the cover slips to cover specimens that
you have placed on a slide in order to observe
with a microscope.
Adhesive labels
You can use these labels to identify your per-
manent prepared specimens. You can also use
them to label the empty vials.

Magnifier box
You can hatch shrimp in the different chambers
and observe the different stages of develop-
ment.
Slides
You place the specimen on a slide. After you have
covered it with some water or gum media, you can
place a cover slip on top. Then you place the slide
under the clips on the microscope.
Scalpel
The scalpel is a sharp knife that you can use to
slice specimens/samples.
Tweezers
These are a type of pincers that you can use to
pick up smaller objects.
Dissecting needle
A dissecting needle can be used for many
things. You can use it to scratch the surface
of a specimen, to fix objects in place or to stir
liquids.
Pipette
You can use this instrument to soak up liquids in
small amounts and squirt them out again.
To soak up liquids, push the upper part (head) of
the pipette together and put the opening on the
lower part in the liquid. Let the head go and the
pipette will fill with the liquid.
When you want to release some of the liquid,
simply push the head together again. The more
carefully you press, the less liquid will come out
of the opening.
Magnifying glass
With the magnifying glass, you can observe ob-
jects with 2 times the magnification.
After use
To make your experiment set - and the enjoy-
ment of it - last longer, you should make note of
the following for after each use.
1. Clean the cover slips, slides and the micro-
scope instruments carefully with water and
some soap.
Caution!
Cover slips, slides and the instruments
have sharp edges and are in some cases
pointed. Make sure to always let adults
help you when cleaning, so that you don't hurt
yourself!
Warning! The cover slips are particularly thin and
could break. It is best to place them on a piece of
paper on a hard surface for cleaning.
2. Close all the vials tightly after use. Some
containers have liquids that evaporate very
easily, and could dry up.
