      I love looking at rocks and minerals (crystals) down a microscope. I use incredibly powerful microscopes that can show detail that you might only dream of. I use something call an electron microscope that actually uses electrons (found in tiny atoms) to create an image of my rock sections. The shapes and colours of the tiny minerals in the rocks look incredible when viewed with a microscope!
