Just take a rock or mineral sample from the kit, place it on the microscope stage, turn it on to begin studying the sample microscopically in full color, and 20X to 300X optical – up to 1200X digital magnification. The 3.5-inch screen shows crisp and clear images in seconds – in fact – many children find it easier to use this type of digital microscope rather than the traditional style with eyepieces to look through. Your child can even save images or movies of their rock specimens on the included 16GB microSD card or on their computer – which connects to the microscope and runs using easily downloaded software.

With its lithium battery, this microscope is portable and can go wherever your child goes exploring and is great for looking at any object – insects, plants, crystals, and more! Your child will get years and years of enjoyment from this microscope!
