Terry and James are partners in a mystery lab. The boys have a compound light microscope and several unlabeled slides. Their task is to find out everything they can about the samples on the slides. Terry puts a slide on the microscope stage and focuses the lenses on the sample. He
can see that the sample is made up of tiny cells.
James looks into the microscope and sees that Terry has done a good job of focusing on the sample, but the cells are still too small to see
much detail. James looks again at the microscope and figures out a way to see the cells much better.
