Hello

The January issue of the 'Micscape' web magazine is now on-line. It is a
magazine compiled by volunteers world-wide keen to share and widen an
interest in amateur microscopy and studies of the 'miniature' world in
general. 

Over 300 articles, tips and other features from past issues are archived
on-line with a search engine to find a topic of interest.

Contents below. Thanks for your time.
