20x i-Explore Stereo Microscope

Looking for the best microscopes for kids? Not sure which type of microscope is best? This inexpensive 20x i-Explore stereo microscope is designed specifically for kids! Use this beginner microscope to find an object around the house or yard, place it on the stage, and your child will be exploring up-close instantly without microscope slides, cover slips, or mess. With this kids stereo microscope, young children will love seeing critters and objects beyond what they can see with their naked eye!

The binocular head is more enjoyable for kids to use, as they can keep both eyes open, plus the stereo feature provides a 3-D image. The rounded focus knob on this binocular microscope is sized just right for smaller hands and makes focusing simple.

While designed for kids, this kids stereo microscope is not a toy: it features a high-quality optical system and LED light; its optical glass is paired widefield 10x eyepieces and 2x low power objective lenses that provide sharp, clear images. The built-in bright LED-illumination light source is powered by two AA batteries (not included) so that kids can use this cordless microscope anywhere - indoors or out! Operating instructions are included in this microscope kit. This C&A Scientific model SMD-04 comes with a one-year warranty.
