ments. You can use all the parts independently
of the microscope that you use for your re-
search.
Experiments
Use the following web link to find interesting
experiments you can try out. How do you hatch
brine shrimp? How to make salt crystals and
much more.

You can do them with the individual parts of
your experiment set.
Prepared Slides
The prepared slides contain a QR code. Let
your parents show you how to read a QR code
on your smartphone to learn more about the
specimen.
You will need a transmitted light microscope
to view the prepared slides (e.g. 8855000,
8855002).
Brine shrimp eggs (Artemia)
These are special eggs that are capable of survival
even when they are dried out. As a result, they are
particularly ideal for raising brine shrimp.
Sea salt
You can observe the sea salt using your micro-
8
scope. Salt is a crystal that looks very interest-
ing 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 reg-
ularly, you will be able to watch how they grow.
Prepared slides "Textile" (material/fabric),
"Dry 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.)
Slide covers
You use the slide covers to cover specimens
that you have placed on a slide in order to ob-
serve 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.
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.
