Original video:
We slowly gathered all the materials and saved 'trash' items until we had everything we needed to put together a little test version. Total cost for us was $0.00 as we used junk and things we already owned to put it together. We didn't have an appropriate size paddle bit or long bolts. Instead of drilling a hole through our board (a scavenged pull-out writing extender from a desk) I hot glued the bottom of the bolts in place. Our 'specimen' stage was not adjustable because most of the nuts did not fit onto our bolts and we had no wing nuts so I did a bit of spacing adjustments using washers and nuts. It's still a bit unsteady but I was able to successfully capture some close up images! I have an older iPhone and no photography skills but I was really tickled that it actually worked. I think that the lens we used from an old laser pointer is 40x magnification but I'm not sure. The phone's camera can zoom in as well to get a higher magnification. This is my first little batch of photos.
