National Geographic Microscope Explorer Series Starter Science Set

I just recently received a National Geographic Explorer Series Microscope. This little microscope is designed for children Ages six and up. But i must warn you that adults will love to use it also. Included in the box is a complete laboratory kit with about 35 pieces. Included are slides, labels, tweezers, pencil and even a few rocks for them to examine. When I first took a look at it I was thinking that it may slip off the table and break easily, but it has rubber non slip legs to keep that from happening. The magnification of the microscope is 40X, 100X, or 400X. This is acquired by the three rotating lenses. There are two LED lights that illuminate the samples from under or above the specimens. We started out by examining a human hair. The kids were so amazed that they were looking around to find other items to take a look at. Included in the kit is a lab guide that I would call an activity booklet. It explains different things to look at and has stickers with secret words on them that can only be seen under the microscope. That was an interesting activity. So, for the price point, the quality, the learning, and the fun I would recommend the National Geographic Microscope Kit.

National Geographic Microscope for Kids is a super fun activity for younger kids to do. The microscope is easy to use it has several levels of magnification to ensure a great view of the specimen. The kit comes with everything you need to get started and has easy to following instructions. Yes, this is a complete Science Experiment kit, having an adult to assist on the first try if needed can be helpful. Love it!
