Micropro Microscope Set

Even if your child is one of the most science-resistant kids around, they will rush to peer at the 'invisible' world through the GeoSafari MicroPro Microscope! And they'll find there's no shortage of interesting things to examine around the average home, inside and out -- from dollar bills and onion skin to insect wings and flower petals.

The set comes with prepared slides for right-away viewing, and supplies for you and your child (help them while they'll still let you!) to prepare your own from found specimens.

48-piece microscope set includes:

• MicroPro microscope with GeoVision precision optics and glass lenses
• die-cast metal scope body with plastic components
• 50x to 600x magnifications
• 10X and 20X eyepieces
• built-in light

• spatula
• stirring rod
• tweezers
• test tube with cap
• Petri dish
• pipette
• 3 specimen vials
• 3 prepared slides

Inside the Instruction and Activity Guide, your child will find safety precautions and instructions on making prepared slides, as well as eight projects to complete with their new microscope.
