Every participant in the Obzevatwa workshop will receive a little optics kit, which consists of:

a lens (a 50mm diameter biconvex lens, with a 25cm focal length)
a first-surface mirror (a nice round chunky disc, about 2" in diameter and 1/2" thick, shatterproof)
a jeweler's loupe
a little microscope, called a "bug box"

We designed a multi-chambered duct tape wallet of sorts, to hold each of these objects, and added a length of parachute cord to it, so that it can be worn around the neck.

As worn by Elza, Jonathan, and Nkoula.

The fact that it looks like a little old-fashioned camera is only somewhat accidental.
