Elementary school teachers: build microscopes at a free workshop in *your* school with UNC Biology prof Bob Goldstein http://www.diymicroscopes.org/
The free app we made for taking pics & videos through a microscope using an iPhone or iPad (without pesky automatic lens switching) is available internationally now. This video shows the app in action. Here's a link to get the app: apps.apple.com/us/app/micro...

🐻Tardigrades💧✨ Tiny but extraordinary! These microscopic animals can survive extreme conditions by entering a dormant state called cryptobiosis, making them a fascinating model to study stress tolerance, desiccation, DNA repair, and the limits of life. 🧬🚀📸 Image by Bob Goldstein Lab. #ModelMonday
Now in the App Store for iPhones and iPads! We designed this free app so you can take photos on any microscope where you can stably place your iPhone or iPad in front of an eyepiece lens. It won't collect info (good for schools) and it won't switch camera lenses on you when you're zooming in or out!
In nine years, 291 K-12 educators from 63 of North Carolina's 100 counties built their own microscopes at NCTIES conferences. Thanks @ncties.bsky.social & #ncties26 attendees for a great workshop last week! Thanks NSF for support! @uncchapelhill.bsky.social @unccollege.bsky.social diymicroscopes.org
Photos taken by K-12 educators at #NCTIES26 yesterday in the microscope-building workshop. That was fun! Thanks so much @ncties.bsky.social & NSF for support! NC teachers: I expect to restart in-school workshops soon, once as our grant supporting them is funded again. #nced #STEMEducation
Educators at #ncties26 … This is your chance! 3:15 today! I’ll have to miss @ncties next year, so come today and you’ll walk away with your own microscope :) --> sched.co/2CGKM <--
⏰ One week left! Early Bird pricing for #NCTIES26 ends soon — and so does Group Registration! Don’t miss your chance to save and register your team. ⭐ Individual registration will still be available after Early Bird ends. Secure your spot today! 🎉
Share the news! The microscope-building workshop will be back at NCTIES2026... plan to come build a microscope that you'll take away with you! This is a fun session... bring friends along or come make some new friends! #NCTIES26 #NCTIES2026 #NCTIES
