Embark on a guided journey through the microscopic world, revealing the hidden creatures and unseen structures. First, learn how to use the microscope and all of its parts. Next, break in your scope by examining two prepared slides. Then, take off on a guided investigation of plant and animal speciments that you gather and prepare yourself. This kit gives you the tools, knowledge and skills you need to view virtually any specimen you can find. The microscope is durable and powerful, allowing for years of continued mico-trekking. The full-color 52-page manual guides you through set-up, usage and dozens of fascinating observations, focused on biological specimens. The microscope is a 100-, 400-, and 900-power die-cast metal microscope, and is nine inches tall. It has both a battery-powered light and a mirror for illumination. It has a glass zoom ocular lens, three glass objective lenses and a filter-aperture wheel.
