      I found it online (legoscope.squarespace.com) when I was looking for ideas for a science education workshop I was going to run. And I thought: I want to do that!

      Basically, it’s an easy way to explain how a microscope works (two lenses for magnification), and it’s also a fun way to demonstrate microscopy.

      But the main reason: because I could!
