Microscope Slides

 My first stop for microscope slides is Good Will online—like this set.  If I didn’t have several sets of microscope slides, I would bid on that Good Will listing because the slides look interesting.  This Amscope Slide Set at $15 is a good basis for comparison.  In fact, I used just this set for a small Biology Co-op  class which met at our church.  I have added slides to my collection; this set was enough for the class to see a range of specimens under the microscope and experiment with focusing and sketching slides.  Amazon has a similar set for $8, the price to beat.  I use a USB digital microscope and a laptop.  The microscope should work with a Chromebook.  The price to beat is $13.39.  This Clip-on Microscope, at $6.99, attaches on to a cell phone.  We use this with an old iPhone.  It’s okay for slides—but not great.  However, it is easy to pull out a clip on microscope and cell phone whenever we want to look at a specimen or slide.  Ease trumps quality because we use it more often.  Take a look.
