 My first foldscope views.
 
 The next pictures were taken from prepared microscope slides I received for my 11th birthday in
 
 1962
 
 .  I got this set with a brand new microscope kit I also received.  That was nearly 53 years ago.  I am now 63 and between these years I majored in biology, became a biology teacher, and taught biology for 34 years.  I taught thousands of students the joy of looking at an incredibly exciting microscopic world.  This Foldscope brought this joy back to me today.  I built it today and then examined the very slides that started me on my journey of discovery.  This “invention” is wonderful.  I can’t wait to show it to other biology teachers and to new generations of
 
 “explorers!! ”
