Towards week's end, we'll show your Scientist how to prepare and view Microscope Slides for a peek into the micro-world all around us.
NOTE: The chemicals in this week's workshop can indeed be harmful if misused. This workshop is for participants who are willing to follow proper procedures, NOT take chemicals and mix them randomly without any idea of what may result.
While we of course make every effort to impart safe experimentation techniques to all participants, please use your best judgment when deciding whether or not this workshop is appropriate for your experimenter.
