Wouldn't it be exciting to watch your son or daughter pick up a small stone from the ground, bring it home, and look at it through this unique microscope. Because of its special design you can observe three dimensional and opaque objects. Your child will be able to determine if a rock is primarily quartz or possibly a sedimentary rock like sand stone. This will lead to further questions about the formation of this rock and a search for other rocks.

Just imagine walking with your child and finding a feather from a bird.  With this microscope you can now discover a feather up close. You might think that a feather isn't that complex, but when you put it under a microscope you will notice that it is made up of many components. You may see that a feather looks like a tree with the Rachis as the trunk and the Barb and Barbules look like branches and leaves. The feather will amaze you as you discover something so simple and complex as a feather.
