Hello, can anyone give me suggestions on how to make a simple microscope (for a school project)? Has anyone tried this before? Where can I get the lenses from?

Hi,

Try these links:

It's possible to use the plastic lenses from a disposable camera, but have never tried it. A Leeuvenhoek type of microscope does require you to work with a gas burner (Bunsen burner), and is therefore probably not suitable for a science project.
