How to do a matchbox microscope?

If you have a simple matchbox microscope with high magnification and single lens. It is very convenient to carry and use.

The materials are also easy to find: a matchbox shell, a small glass bead? You can use small glass beads at the front end of the condensing beads instead, two matchboxes, a small piece of glass, a small glass mirror, and adhesive tape and glue.

The manufacturing process is also very simple. First, the inner box of a match is hollowed out, the horizontal bar at one end is cut off, and a small hole with the same size as the glass bead is tied in the middle of the other end. After the glass beads are put in, cover them with a piece of white paper with a small hole with the same diameter in the middle. The first step is completed. Step 2: First, punch a small long hole about one centimeter in the position of the inner box of another match facing the lens, stick a piece of glass on the hole and stick it firmly with adhesive tape, so that the stage is completed. The lens holder only needs to cut a square hole on one side of the trademark as the entrance. The fourth and final step is to install the mirror: stick the adhesive tape on the back of the mirror, fold it back 90 degrees, and stick it on the lower end of the inner box of the matchbox to make the mirror tilt.

When in use, the observed object is placed on the glass on the stage, and then the lens holder is inserted so that the small window faces the light source. By adjusting the height, you can clearly see the magnified object.
