The young mad scientist

Our friend Jerry Jarvis (now husband of Susan Towle Jarvis) gave Jonas his student microscope. This morning Jonas and I took it out and started to explore the world of Very Small Things.

Our specimens included:

• A mosquito larva
• The ragged end of a blade of grass
• Onion skin (a classic in yellow and red varieties)
• Pollen from the gorgeous bouquet that Susan and Jerry gave us after the wedding

I think the biggest hit was the larva, because it was active! An experience teaches the lesson that higher magnification is not always the best thing...
