Congratulations to the LegoScope team, winners of the Educators Choice award at Maker Faire 2013! The LegoScope crew tested out the classic LegoScope, OpenScope and cheaper ComponentScope with regular slides as well as a number of live samples like zebrafish, C. elegans, fruit fly maggots, planaria worms, and sea anemones. They made contact with local teachers, hoping to bring the microscopes to classrooms soon.
Thanks to the volunteers:
