1600X Binocular Compound Microscope for Kids, Students
1600X Binocular Compound Microscope for Kids, Students and Adults Biology Microscope Kit with Slides and Phone Adapter for School, Home Learning and STEM Projects
Everything You Need to Start Exploring
Comfortable Binocular Viewing
Two eyepieces make longer viewing sessions more comfortable and natural than constantly closing one eye.
Capture What You Discover
Attach a smartphone to photograph and record observations for projects, revision or sharing.
Ready-Made Specimens
Prepared slides let beginners start observing straight away while blank slides support future experiments.
Complete Observation Kit
Slides, specimen tools, phone adapter and carrying case bring the essentials together in one complete set.
Find the Detail. Keep It in Focus
Coaxial coarse and fine focus allows more precise adjustment, while the mechanical stage gives controlled X–Y movement of the slide. Spend less time repositioning samples and more time observing the details.
Is this a toy microscope?
This is a fully functional compound microscope designed for students, families and adult beginners. It offers adjustable magnification, coarse and fine focusing and a mechanical stage for more controlled observation.
Is 1600X suitable for every specimen?
Different specimens are best viewed at different magnifications. Lower magnification is usually easier for locating and centring a specimen before moving gradually to higher magnification for finer details.
Can I use my phone with the microscope?
Yes. A smartphone adapter is included so you can photograph or record observations through the eyepiece.
Is it suitable for beginners?
Yes. Beginners can start with prepared slides and lower magnification, then gradually progress to higher magnification and independent specimen preparation.
