You can do them with the individual parts of your experiment set.
Prepared Slides
The prepared slides contain a QR code. Read a QR code on your smart-
phone to learn more about the specimen.
Shrimp eggs
These are special eggs that are capable of survival even when they are dried
out. As a result, they are particularly ideal for raising brine shrimp. You can
find out how in the appendix to these instructions.
Sea salt
You can observe the sea salt using your microscope. Salt is a crystal that looks
very interesting through a microscope. Apart from that, you will also need the
sea salt to make a salt solution, in which you will hatch your brine shrimp.
Yeast
The yeast in your experiment set is included as feed for the brine shrimp. If
you feed them regularly, you will be able to watch how they grow.

Prepared slides "Textile" (material/fabric), "Dry Shrimp" and "Butterfly
Wings"
Different prepared slides that you can investigate using your microscope.
Empty vial
You can keep a sample in the empty vial (e.g. leaves, and, etc.)
Slide covers
You use the slide covers to cover specimens that you have placed on a
slide in order to observe with a microscope.
Adhesive labels
You can use these labels to identify your permanent prepared specimens.
You can also use them to label the empty vials.
Slides
You place the specimen on a slide. After you have covered it with some water
or gum media, you can place a cover slip on top. Then you place the slide under
the clips on the microscope.
Scalpel
The scalpel is a sharp knife that you can use to slice specimens/samples.
Tweezers
These are a type of pincers that you can use to pick up smaller objects.
Dissecting needle
A dissecting needle can be used for many things. You can use it to scratch
the surface of a specimen, to fix objects in place or to stir liquids.
Pipette
You can use this instrument to soak up liquids in small amounts and squirt
