Useful to show differences in images between light and electron microscopes.

This seems like a very useful resource for my high school biology classes. I can see myself using it to supplement my light-microscope chloroplast lab. It is pretty simple, so I think it would work best as a teacher-led demo to discuss both the structures inside chloroplasts as well as differences between light and electron microscopes.
