Looking for the best microscopes for kids? This battery-powered microscope for kids features the same quality optical glass and sturdy metal frame as our regular Kids scope, but with a more versatile illumination system. With this beginner microscope, kids can explore the world around them - beyond what they can see with their naked eye.

The bright LED light in this kid-friendly introductory microscope is powered by a rechargeable battery pack, which means that it can be used without a cord; this battery-powered microscope for kids is a take-anywhere scope that's great for introducing kids to microscopy. Use it outdoors where AC power is not available, or indoors when it is inconvenient to have a power cord in the way.

The efficient LED illuminator in this monocular microscope runs off the built-in rechargeable batteries for up to 15 hours; it's also plugable using the included AC adapter. A 6-hole disc diaphragm and variable illumination provide just the right LED lighting and contrast for each specimen and magnification level, and the focus knob helps kids to see specimen details with clarity. The three objective lenses and 10x widefield eyepiece provide total microscope magnification levels of 40, 100, and 400x magnification; this battery-powered microscope for kids has both low power and high power capabilities!

This cordless microscope for kids comes with a set of five prepared microscope slides, an AC adapter, and complete operating instructions. You can also order blank slides if you wish to help your child prepare their own for further exploration and study!

This Home Science Tools model comes with a five-year warranty. Kids ages 5 and up can use this microscope kit with adult supervision.
