The perils of teaching Biology to a class of 40/60 students is known only to the biology teacher. To show AMOEBA or any other unicellular organism to all these students by using a regular microscope is an exercise in futility. After having fixed the organism in the `view' you ask the children to line up in a queue for the `DARSHAN' - the nudging and pushing [playful antics] of the children is a bonus!
The child viewing into the microscope is barely able to have a `look' before he is pushed away - so the bewildered child wonders what he has `supposed' to have seen. The teacher asks DID YOU SEE IT- the child dutifully replies YES! To be able to see properly through the eye piece needs `practice' - what with the light falling from all sides - the eye lashes touching the lens. I have seen many children closing the very eye they are supposed to be looking with and saying loudly to madam [why are more biology teachers women - let us take up that issue somewhere else] YES I CAN SEE IT!
OPTUS PROJECTION BIOSCOPE can project the image on the microslide on a 100mm/150mm screen or on to the wall [depending on the model you choose] in any size [by increasing distance and by creating a dark room]. The image can be simultaneously by the teacher and all the students. A set of 10/20 microslides can be shown in one single period!
