Digital Microscopy - Catalyst 2008

Digital Microscopy


There are some great tools with Motic that allows you to use there microscopes and related software to measure the area, perimeter and distances.  Additional advantages of using the digital microscopes are to bring the images from a single person viewing lens to many students or teachers being able to see the same image and discuss on a laptop screen or on the projector screen


Claymation for Mitosis.  Students were engaged and creative demonstrating their understanding of mitosis.  They used a digital camera and Microsoft Movie Maker.  Students also added labels. 
 

I have used the Bodelin Proscope many times, but extending to multiple objective lenses without having to remove the microscope and then change the lens is an good option.
