Would it be
possible to make a microscope on the island using just a basic array
of wire, glassware, kitchen utensils and a car battery but not a
clean glass lens in sight?
How does
a microscope work?
Essentially,
a microscope is just a lens. You can see the principle quite easily
by looking through a tiny drop of water. Try balancing a water droplet
on a 2mm (.078 in.) hole made in cardboard and looking through it. You'll have
to get your eye very close — and the object you're looking at very
close too — but it magnifies surprisingly well.
