Using Hand Lenses and Microscopes

by Lorijo Metz

If you want to get a closer look at anything from a ladybug to a grain of sand, a hand lens or microscope is the tool for you. Handy explanations of measurements of magnification, such as 10x, are provided through accessible text. Practical tips about how to use and care for hand lenses and microscopes are also offered. Labeled photographs make the easy-to-follow text even more engaging and an experiment helps readers put what they have learned into practice.

About the author

Lorijo Metz lives with her husband and little brown dog in the great state of Indiana. Though she has a degree in acting and directing, she much prefers the anonymity of the keyboard, allowing her characters to revel in the spotlight while she sits quietly sipping tea or coffee, nibbling on cookies, and dreaming up ways to complicate their lives.

WHEELS, Lorijo's middle-grade, Science Fiction, Adventure, which reviewers say is, "Brilliant," "Whacky, loads of fun," and "...one I know I'll reread," was awarded a stipend from ACX, Amazon's audible division. Look for it on Amazon.com, Audible.com and iTunes in time for the 2014 holiday season.

In 2013, Lorijo made her début as a lyricist. She wrote the lyrics for the title track on PUPPY DOG JIG, performed by children's singer and songwriter Owen Duggan on his newest CD.
