When can I let my child use this microscope?

The box says: "Only for use by children ages 8 and up. Keep out of reach of animals and small children under 3 years of age." So children between three and eight years old can have it in their reach, but it's still not safe for them to use it, even with adult supervision? I'm not sure I understand the distinction. What danger could they experience by using it that they don't have just from touching it?

Le coin laboratoire de #SherlockHolmes dans le salon du 221b Baker Street à #londres, équipé de #microscopes, de béchers et de fioles de produits chimiques pour analyser les empreintes, les cheveux, la terre sous les chaussures, les fibres et pourquoi pas les graines accrochées aux vêtements.

Les méthodes utilisées par le célèbre détective ont fait l'admiration d'Edmond Locard, qui a fondé à #lyon la police scientifique.

Things on my writing #ToDoList that have been for multiple years:
- #Levers vs #Microscopes, and different types of technologies that augment #labor
- Work worth NOT doing, and frameworks for determining whether other people’s buy-in and #consent should be needed for a person to do something (have #agency)
- There are #RebelsInTheDeathStar (this has probably been 10 years on the to-do list 🫠)
- It isn’t dead, yet, but #PrivacyIsInHospice
- The #FunEconomy, and new modes of measuring progress

Happy birthday to Antonie van Leeuwenhoek (1632 – 1723), the Dutch scientist & progenitor of #microbiology known for his improvements to microscope tech. He was a draper in Delft, then a politician with an interest in lensmaking. Using his handmade #microscopes, he was 1st to observe microorganisms, which he called tiny animals, or “animalcules”. He also made pioneering microscopic observations on muscle fibres, bacteria, coffee & blood flow 🧵

Worlds Within Worlds: An Introduction to Microscopes by Bruno Kremer, 2024

A microscope is a gateway to another dimension, allowing us to explore the fascinating realm of microorganisms. From the colonies of green algae that grace the cover of this book, to bacteria, cellular structures and protozoa – an entire world of life, almost limitless and yet invisible to the naked eye, awaits through the lens of a microscope.
