Introduction of the microscope

Only a few of us know that webcams with focal lenses can make extra close shots. In fact, if you have a webcam with a variable focus, you also have a microscope. By using WebCam Laboratory, not only can you make microscopic measurements, but may also become familiar with a large variety of dimensions getting to know the world with respect to its measurements.

As the speed of movement is relative, the measurements of things are too. If you have a reference point, you can measure any related size or distance. WebCam Laboratory inspires users to look for comparison points in a creative way. By this, you can precisely understand the terms of units, of measurements and relativity. Unbelievable, but using a $10 webcam and WebCam Laboratory, you can make measurements as small as 1/100 mm. That means – in given circumstances – even single-celled organisms can be examined. Beyond microscopic sizes, you can make measurements in everyday dimensions or even in astronomical measurements. In the comfort of your home, you can measure the width and depth of the craters on the Moon. When you use WebCam Laboratory, you will develop your skills in mathematics, spatial orientation, and inner mapping as well as your logical thinking and creativity.
