Children's Handheld Optical Microscope with LED Light, Portable HD Science Toy, Black

A portable optical microscope made to be used outside, where the interesting things are. The optical system renders subjects in true color, which protects a child's eyes over a long session and makes what they are looking at genuinely informative rather than a washed-out blur. Magnification covers the range most young explorers want, focusing with a simple wheel and lighting dim subjects with an integrated LED, and there is no slide preparation involved: hold it against a leaf, a rock, a coin, or a fingertip and look. The body is compact at 146 grams with a rounded handle sized for a child's grip and no sharp edges to catch on. It travels easily in a backpack for camping trips, nature walks, and school field days. A thoughtful gift for a child moving from asking questions about the world to investigating it directly.
