We are a homeschooling family. we just read about Louis Pasteur and how he saw
microbe and discovered pasteurization. we were curious to see if we could see
these microbes. we have a good microscope but can not see anything. we were
wonder ing how strong it had to be and what would be the best sample to look at.
thank you
