Backyard Microscope (Mark Armitage)

Backyard microscope is a companion content delivery vehicle to our upcoming blog backyardmicroscope.com. Our mission is to deliver fun, compelling and highly educational science lessons rooted in microscopy which will inspire young people to seek out a career in science - especially in microscopy!  We hope to deliver lessons that can also inspire kids and adults alike to go "hunting" in their own backyards for treasures that can be viewed under regular microscopes.  Our heart's desire is to help them to see the beauty, design and fascination in the microscopic universe that is right out their back door.  Each lesson will have something fun and wacky, something interesting and novel, and a personal application that folks can learn by.  We also hope to encourage requests from our subscribers for things they would like to see under the microscope - plus we hope to showcase subscriber microscopy videos on this channel as well.
