Anglian Microscopy Group

The Anglian Microscopy Group meets at Crowfield Village Hall, usually on
the third Saturday, with around 30 keen amateur microscopists attending
each meeting. You don’t need to be a scientist to come along and enjoy
yourself, we have people from all sorts of backgrounds and there’s
expert help to assist with equipment and techniques. You don’t even need
a microscope, we have club microscopes available for use on the day and
if you have your own and are unsure about its use we’ll help you with
that as well. All materials are provided and are either free or very low
cost.

Our sessions cover all manner of subjects, so far we've done;
setting up a microscope
how to clean microscopes
pond life identification
taking photographs down the microscope
making pollen slides
making slides of bacteria and cheek cells
mitosis in onion root tips
Christmas themed microscopy
And more to come!

Best of all, the cost to be a member is nothing at all, the club is
funded by the national microscopy organisation, the Quekett, and all
meetings are free.
