Lamp and Light Blocker

You may need to provide additional lighting to get the best image of your object, especially if it’s
a water sample. Use the lamp and light blocker included in your scope kit to achieve optimal
lighting. Slide the light blocker onto the lamp, place the lamp over your sample, and adjust the
position of the lamp and/or blocker until you get the desired image.

The light blocker allows light to strike the object from sides, but not directly overhead

Water sample without lamp

in the sample are much more clearly seen.

How to Prepare Slides

These hand-held scopes are not water resistant, so care must be taken when viewing aquatic
samples. There are many activities that can be done with the scope that involve wet samples
(pond  water,  cheek  cells,  etc.),  so  detailed  instructions  are  included  below  on  how  to  make
slides.    For  elementary  students,  we  recommend  using  either  plastic  Petri  dishes  (30-60  mm
diameter)  or  deep  well  slides  (described  below).    Both  are  included  in  the  Scope  Manual
Material Kit, and they also can be ordered from a variety of science education supply catalogs.
