Customer Educational Resources

At this special area of our web site our customers can find material that we normally sell to schools. This material is used throughout the United States in classroom science labs from grades 4 through 12 and was written to support the information presented on the DVD (video) "Adventures with a Microscope".

These pages are for home or home school use only and cannot be otherwise published or reprinted without our written permission. Homeschoolers will especially find this an extremely valuable resource. We suggest you print these pages out and make a lab notebook with them.

To access this information, you will need a user ID and Password. If you have purchased a microscope from us and need the password, email your request to us with your name and address. If you are not yet a customer of Microscope World, you may find our public resource section helpful.
