Go to the next level of scientific exploration with the Second Level Science Discovery Set. We've done our research, and put together a comprehensive microscope set for the curious mind. Like a functioning laboratory, we include a low-power stereo microscope for cursory examinations, and a high-power compound microscope for extreme magnification. Both microscopes are constructed with the same glass optics as microscopes twice their price, guaranteeing clear, sharp images. Designed for the early-education years, the set will guide the young mind through exploration of everyday items and carefully-chosen specimens.
Usually the most fascinating things to view close-up are the things you see every day. The stereo microscope lets you get that closeup view of familiar things like rocks and soil, bugs and leaves. Because of the special stereo design, you're able to perceive depth while looking at something 20X its normal size. Once you're ready to go to the next level, the compound microscope will take you up to an amazing 1000X! Designed for viewing plant or animal cells, or even microorganisms, this high-power microscope works best with specimen slides.
We've include a starter kit for preparing your own slides, as well as some slides with premounted specimens. The World of the Microscope contains everything you need to know about using a microscope. Lavish illustrations and thoughtful writing will guide you through your journey. Read about the history and future of microscopes, and learn how to collect and view your own specimens.
