IQCrew by Amscope 40X-500X Inverted Student Microscope, Insect Book, 10 Prepared Slides, Eyepiece Camera, 10PC Slide Prep Kit

IQCrew's Science Discovery Series is designed to inspire kids to learn more about science. Microscopes are important tools which help children understand science and nature by allowing them to peek into the microscopic world, which is why they are a standard component of STEM curricula. Biology, chemistry, geology, and many more fields rely on microscopes to understand how things work. Our new inverted design provides a big advantage over conventional microscopes, by allowing both traditional specimen slides and liquids to be used. By moving the microscope's lenses under the specimen stage, there's plenty room on top. A Petri dish can be used to hold liquid samples like pond water, hatching brine shrimp, or growing crystals. The inverted design also lets you adjust the focus without moving the stage, which could disturb the specimen. How close up do you want to see things? The IN50 has 3 magnifications: 40X, 100X, and 200X! The high-quality lenses provide a wide range of true optical magnification. To get things started, this learning kit includes some prepared slides for viewing right out of the box. It also includes materials to prepare your own samples, like a Petri dish and blank slides. There is a graduated cylinder for measuring, and a pipette for easily transfering liquid samples. Forceps, a probe, and a stirring rod are also included for preparing and positioning specimens. This kit includes a 96-page colorful 1000 Facts About Insects book by National Geographic Kids that is packed with amazing photographs and fascinating facts about insects that you didn’t know! Kids love bugs! Jam-packed with 1,000 fascinating facts, this reference book is buzzing with all kinds of information about insect creepers, crawlers, fliers, stingers, biters, and more. This kit also includes a 10-piece very nice Insect Specimen set with 30 insect specimens (3 specimens per slide). The slides are coverslipped and preserved in cedar wood oil. They are premium, accurately stained and machine cleaned slides that will give a sharp image. All slides are carefully labeled for easy reference and are arranged in a plastic box. This slide set is a rare mix of 10 prepared slides (30 specimens) from which students can find a lot of fun. This slide set is excellent for educational use and is perfect for all levels of student study including home school program. There is no risk of contamination from previous use It includes: Dragonfly Abdomen/Leg/Wing, Honeybee Antennas/Leg/Wing, Cricket Antennae/Leg/Wing, Mosquito Abdomen/Leg/Wing, Locust Antennas/Leg/Wing, Shrimp Antennae/Leg/Egg, Housefly Abdomen/Leg/Wing, Butterfly Antennas/Leg/Wing, Mantis Antennae/Leg/Wing, Ladybug Shell/Leg/Wing. The kit also comes with a webcam for your microscope. The eyepiece camera is lightweight and compact, making it a perfect companion to the microscope. Another huge benefit is its ability to be used with popular video conferencing apps just like a webcam. This is because it uses UVC protocol, making it plug-and-play compatible on most platforms, including Windows, Mac OS, and Linux.
