Micro-World Posters
    The invention of the microscope revealed a world that could not be seen by the naked eye.  It permitted the exploration of the very fabric of life.  The titles include "The Microscope," which shows how it works and is used.  "Winky" shows the power of magnification by presenting a series of photographs, each using increased magnification.  It begins by showing Winky the elephant and ends up with a detailed picture of the eye of fly that rests on his trunk.  "Visualizing Cells" provides an introduction to the subject. Two sets of 10 cell posters explores the subject in depth.  Ogden Nash even wrote an ode to the cell.  These are rounded out by posters dealing with "Living Sands," "Visualizing Mitosis" and an educational poster on viruses and bacteria.  Most of these are intended for classroom use and teachers will find them a  valuable teaching resource.
