This big, colourful microscope was designed specifically to enable young kids to have successful microscopic viewing experiences, and to be a fun tool for early biological investigations

The 8× magnification power is appropriate for this age group, who often have trouble adjusting their eyes to see images at higher powers. The extra wide eyepiece and battery powered, light-up slide stage also make viewing images through the microscope easy. The microscope comes with a unique slide holder, 24 printed slides, and one blank slide. Each printed slide features one object at three magnification levels, so kids can relate a recognisable object, like a feather or bee, with two different magnified images of the object. The 72 slide images give kids a lot of things to investigate.

Features:

• The 32-page, full-colour manual is set up as an illustrated storybook, making it fun for adults and children to read together, while also instructing them how to use the microscope.
• As you read the story, you can find the slides of the objects that appear in the story and view them through the microscope.
• The blank slide can be used to view other objects at 8× magnification.
• This introductory series of lessons is designed to give kids an effective and fun introduction to microscopy and microscopic biology.
• The manual explains the parts of the microscope, how to use it, and gives scientific explanations of the images on the printed slides.

Suitable for ages 4 & up
