Introductory microscopic discovery observation goes next level with the GeoSafari Jr. KidScope! Young scientists get hands-on experience with a microscope and 15 pre-printed slides they can mount, rotate, and view at a 3x magnification that provides a wide field of vision, perfect for this age. Kids simply select a slide, place it on the rotating dial stage, and use the easy-focus knob to adjust to their perfect field of vision. Then, turn on the LED light to illuminate the image and look through the double eyepiece (no need to close one eye!) to see it up close. With 60 images to choose from, the fun-and learning!-never ends! Requires 3 AAA batteries (not included).
