This interactive tutorial explores basic microscope assembly. When first downloaded the microscope parts are separated. Use the mouse to assemble the microscope from the various parts. To identify specific parts, hold the mouse cursor over the part and the name will appear below the microscope stand. Note: this tutorial is designed for assembly in a specific order. If the parts do not "snap" into position, try a different approach.
