There is more around us than meets the eye, and since childhood, I have enjoyed discovering the “invisible” using microscopes, magnifying glasses, binoculars, and telescopes. The aluminum tube in the photo is a pocket microscope that I bought many years ago while at summer camp.
A very kindly lady named Lula Masters had been teaching a class on–eeuuww!–spiders, and she had one like this to use to look at their eyes, hair, and legs. I wanted a microscope like that, and she found one that I could buy. Wow! I could see the interlocked feather plumes, details of the old corncob pipe that I found, and crystals of salt and sugar that I later dissolved in the glass beakers in the photo. I have looked at everything imaginable through it, discovering more and more about the unseen world about me.
I still use it and find these tiny discoveries intriguing to this day; thank you so much, Lula!
