Lumagny Pocket MicroscopeThis pocket microscope is an ideal tool to start studying small worlds. It gives an amazingly clear picture and is very fun to use. Every kid I've given one to has started to explore with it instantly.

Works great alone, or can be useful alongside a more powerful lab microscope. (see chart below)

What makes it so good?

  • A simple focus wheel means that even a six year old can use it immediately.
  • The swivel lamp makes the image much clearer than in most pocket microscopes.
  • It's compact, durable, and there's no set-up involved. This makes it perfect for outdoor exploring!
