DESCRIPTION

Depart on a Micro Trek and venture deep into the microcosmos with this high quality 100x to 900x microscope. Unveil the hidden creatures and unseen structures of the microscopic world. Learn how to use the microscope and about each of its parts. Examine two prepared slides and then take off on a guided investigation of plant and animal specimens that you gather and prepare yourself.

See how an onion cell shrivels and how an earthworm wiggles. Analyze the differences between the hair on your head and the sheep's hair in your wool sweater. Learn professional procedures for preparing specimens to make your own slides. Use the included projector attachment to trace images and record them with film. Make a logbook to record the observations and drawings you make along the way.

Discover how the microscope has played a crucial role in the development of the natural sciences and continues to be indispensable in the exploration of new technologies. The die-cast metal microscope is durable and powerful for years of continued Micro Trekking. A 52-page, full-color manual guides young microbiologists, aspiring chemists and microscope hobbyists through set-up, usage and dozens of fascinating observations.

This is a great quality microscope kit. It should last my kids for years. They learn so much from it. Crossing my fingers for a couple of future doctors.

This is a very good microscope kit. My daughter loves using it. So much better for her to learn practical things from this than from games on the computer. I wish there were a few more prepared slides,but then I guess that is part of learning in collecting here own samples. Also,DiscoverThis has some prepared slide sets that are very neat.
