Order this microscope and receive a free Microscope Starter Set—a $25 value! It comes with 6 prepared slides, cleaning tools, and a set of plain slides to create your own. Just order this scope and the free starter set will be included! Get a kid-friendly introductory microscope without sacrificing quality! This new and improved scope was designed with kids ages 5-13 in mind, allowing them to easily look close-up at leaves, insects, pond life, slides, and more. The achromatic glass optics and sturdy frame make it a valuable educational instrument, far superior to toy microscopes at the same price. (It's also a good choice for those who can't spend extra on a microscope like the Home microscope model, and it can be used for high school work in a pinch.)
The three objective lenses and 10x eyepiece provide magnification levels of 40, 100, and 400x. Just take it out of the box, turn on the illuminator, place a prepared slide (not included) on the stage, and your kids will immediately be delighted with clear, colorful, detailed images from their microscope. Home Science Tools model with lifetime warranty. Ages 5 & up with adult supervision.

We work directly with select factories in China to have our Home microscopes manufactured to our specifications and quality standards. Over a 10-year period, we evaluated dozens of microscopes looking for the right ones for our customers. After being disappointed again and again with the quality and/or cost, we committed in 2004 to develop our own line of microscopes. Our high standards for mechanical reliability, optical quality, and overall quality control were developed with students and families in mind. While it is possible to find cheaper microscopes, we are confident that you won't find a better-quality one for your money.
