Here is the home microscope complete with slides from the last school experiments. Have had a lot of fun with this over the years although the expectation today is to get a much closer and clearer look than the scope of this old 1950's piece of equipment.
Another interesting piece of equipment! I used to have one of these when I was a child, don't remember what happened to it though

@francesc In testing it again the piece is not as efficient as I remember. In my day we really had to work the light and gear to see anything. My kids explored it as well.

@fr1da The excitement we had when looking close up into objects way back then. Now we use a screen.

I too had fun with these, but did mine have a mirror or a lightbulb ?

@laroque Tim this has a small round mirror underneath and we used to reflect light from wherever we could to light up the slide.
