      Hey, I’m at first amazed as it looks like a whole new world!! Then I’m trying to think how it would be for the bacteria, plant cells, or anything I’m looking at, to live. I’m going through all the molecular processes I’ve been studying about and try to put it all together in that little moving cell. However, if I use more powerful microscopes that I can see groups of atoms together, then I’m just amazed of our technology that allows us to see such tiny things – and by tiny, I mean very tiny: about a billionth times smaller than the width of our hair!!
