Because this podcast frequently discusses very small organisms, I thought an episode on magnification would be of interest.  And because I know that some parents listen to this podcast, I decided to focus a little also on sharing the nature of small things with children.  So tips and tricks about getting close views of tiny things are featured. The cover art for this episode is a Wild M5 Stereoscopic microscope. The image was clipped from a Wikimedia Commons image uploaded by Michael K.
