The workshop will cover various types of microscopes, including low-power stereo microscopes and high-power compound microscopes, and explore their uses in natural history research and observation. The event will also cover the history of microscopes and simple ways to prepare specimens for examination.

Brian Eversham, the workshop leader, will provide hands-on experience with a range of microscopes, allowing participants to gain a deeper understanding of how to select and use microscopes effectively. Attendees are also welcome to bring their own microscopes to receive assistance with setting them up and using them.

The event will take place at The Manor House in Cambridge on 8 November 2026, starting at 10:00 AM. Admission is free, although a contribution of up to £55.00 is appreciated.
