Evolution of the Microscope

You need a Communicator 4.0 or Internet Explorer 4.0 browser to explore the microscope interactive. To get more photos and information with your 3.0 browser, visit the microscope showcase instead.

Instructions

  1. The timeline along the left side of the screen features three early microscopes.

  2. Click on any one of the three choices to go to a microscope mini-exhibit.

  3. Once inside a mini-exhibit, there are "micro-icons" in the exhibit which are hotlinked. You can roll your mouse around to find them; they change color when you roll over them.

  4. When you click on a micro-icon, a description will appear. Once you have read the description, you can click anywhere on the description to make it go away.

  5. Now you're ready to
    PLAY!
