When you're out and away from your lab, you don't want to be lugging around a massive microscope. Sure, it's a great tool, but carrying something that heavy is impractical. That's when you need the Pocket Lighted Microscope. The Pocket Lighted Microscope is extremely lightweight and portable enough to fit in your pants pocket, your backpack, or even a fanny pack! 
 
So we're talking about a microscope that only measures 3.5" (9 cm) tall by 1.25" (5 cm) wide, the magnification can't be very impressive. That's where the the Pocket Lighted Microscope becomes truly amazing. This tiny tool zooms-in at a range of 60x to 100x magnification. That's as much zoom as some laboratory microscopes! And lighting up the specimen you're examining is as easy as clicking a button, ensuring a bright, clear image every time.

What's included?

One Pocket Lighted Microscope
  • Dimensions: 1.25" x 1" x 3.5" (3cm x 2.5cm x 9cm)
  • Adjustable 60-100x zoom
  • Adjustable fine focus knob
  • Uses three SG7 (#392) button batteries

How does it work?

This portable microscope is remarkably easy to use. Simply sliding the light switch to "on" lights up the Pocket Lighted Microscope's viewing area. To adjust the microscope's zoom, all you need to do is rotate the "zoom" knob located just below the top of the microscope. By turning this knob, you can adjust the magnification anywhere from 60x to 100x. Just below the "zoom" knob is a second knob marked "focus." This wheel will help you fine tune the microscope to observe the finest details.

What does it teach?

The Pocket Lighted Microscope provides an incredible opportunity for young explorers to zoom in on the details of the world around them. The lightweight, durable design is perfect for tiny hands while the incredible magnification capability allows unprecedented zoom.
