This microscope reminded me of a picture I saw recently of microscope used by the 18th Century scientist Linneaus. Here is a link: http://surl.se/akfs (on the middle of the page is tiny image) As for the "Otona no kagaku" series I am a fan as well and own two of the automaton models. "The tea serving boy" and "The young noble shooting arrows". The latter is not, I repeat not, uncomplicated to assemble and we are not there yet.</p> Nice.

Quite easy to make and works well. Just the thing to listen to while you are working on building your next steampunk project.

That way other readers can find it!</p> <p>It's an awesome magazine, and each one comes with a full project to assemble- I picked up one once that had a full working Stirling engine, very steampunk. They are usually around 15$ USD, but totally worth it. The pictures alone make it easy to assemble projects even if you can't read Japanese.</p> Hi, I’m a Japanese major and huge steampunk devotee- I’d like to point out the name of this magazine is actually “Otona no Kagaku”, which translates to “Adult’s Science” in English (Gakken is just the publisher), and it’s easy to find in any bookstore in Japan.
