2 Inch Screen
Kids See It On The Screen
The 2 inch IPS screen is the heart of it. A wide 178 degree angle keeps the picture clear and true in color from the side, so a child never presses one eye to a small lens. Point it at a butterfly wing or a flower, turn the focus wheel, and the detail fills the screen for the whole table to share at once.
8 LED Lens
Bright Lens, Eight LED Ring
Behind the clear base sits a 2 megapixel lens circled by eight small LED lights. They flood the sample with even, shadow free light so colors stay true, and a button raises or lowers the glow. The lens reaches up to 1000x, pulling leaf veins, insect wings and paper fibers into sharp, close view on the screen.
Four Colors
White, Orange, Pink, Purple
Pick from four soft grip colors: white, orange, pink and purple. Each one is the same pocket size microscope, about 10.5 by 8 by 5 cm and 226g, light enough to hang from the yellow neck strap on a backyard hunt. A 600mAh battery runs around two hours and recharges over the USB cable, so the exploring carries on both outside and indoors.
