Microscope: The first day started with us making our own microscopes. Maithili, Reuben and I started off by installing the web-cam in our laptops and once it was functioning we dismantled it inverted the lens. On placing it onto the photosensitive chip we tried to find the sweet spot where we were able to see the pixels on the screen.
Once we knew that it was working we fixed the lens into place and started examining other things under the microscope.
