There are several different lenses that can be used with the ProScope.

The ProScope comes with a M50 lens or the 30N lens.

Different kits come with different size lenses such as: 1-10X, M100, M200

There are stands that can be used to hold the scope still while viewing.

I used the ProScope to help the students get a closer look at matter.

I used the Interval mode to show the melting of ice.

I used the Movie mode to watch the boiling water.

I also used the Camera/Picture mode to have students take pictures of different solid items.

Other Uses in the Classroom:

· Observe an insect

· Look closer at different materials

· Look at a leaf

· Record interval shots of a plant, ice…

· Record a movie of an insect

· Look at soil

· Look at rocks, fossils…
