Live organisms were made for microscopes! Thank you Spaghetti Monster.

But seriously, what about living things? Pond scum, algae from a fish 
tank, paramecium or amoeba from a biological supply company or 
university or college laboratory? Easy to maintain, to see, large 
enough to see inside, endlessly fascinating and easily to make 
relationships to other living things (eg algae created the oxygen 
atmosphere that helped lead to multicellular life on Earth more than 
6,000 years ago).  We have exhibited living microscopic things for 
many years and our visitors are fascinated by the endless microbial 
forms most beautiful and most wonderful. ,

If you like more information or help contact me off line or on line.

Cheers,

Martin

If this is a second slightly different positing on this subject I 
apologize as my first seemed to have disappeared somewhere near 
Planet X.
