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 13 lesson downloadable workbook.

The pocket microscope has a magnification of 100x which is equivalent to the medium magnification setting on a student compound microscope.

We recommend a minimum age of 10 for the use of this microscope.

We suggest you purchase our Microscope Accessory Set (containing glass slides, glass coverslips and much more) with this purchase if you want to complete all the lessons in the workbook in full.

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! 

This product is also available as a set of 8 in a hard plastic case, with foam infill.

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.
