Pocket Microscope 100X Magnification with Downloadable Workbook

This pocket microscope is not a toy! It is a serious scientific instrument that extends the human sense of sight 100 times!

This purchase includes a 6 lesson downloadable workbook which you can view in the images.

The pocket microscope has a magnification of 100x which is equivalent to the medium magnification setting on a student compound microscope (Objective lens 10x with eyepiece lens 10x = 100x magnification)

We recommend a minimum age of 12 for the use of this microscope.

Simply put, the higher the magnification of a microscope, the more difficult they are to use.

The view finder has an inbuilt scale with increments down to 0.02mm and a total field of view of 1.6mm. This means if you study the wing of a fly which has a length of about 8 mm, you only see 20% of the wing in the view finder. The detail that you can see is incredible.

You can measure the width of a human hair with this pocket microscope!

The smallest sugar grain looks like a giant iceberg!

Yes, you can even use this pocket microscope to view cells, the individual units of life! Is it as good as a $250 student microscope? No, but at 1/10th the price you will be surprised at how clear the and magnified the view is.

We suggest you purchase a box of glass slides and coverslips with this purchase if you want to use it to view cells.

The microscope requires 2 x AA batteries (not included) to power the LED light source.

There is a focussing roller on the body of the microscope.

Included is a soft pouch for storage.

The package has a weight of 90 grams.
