My Living World - Pocket Microscope

Small enough to fit in your pocket, but powerful enough

This real microscope magnifies 30 times using precision optics, and is much easier to use than those old-fashioned desk microscopes! When you unfold the microscope, the light automatically illuminates the area in front of the lens, so that whether you are interested in nature studies, or crime-solving, this will be an invaluable companion! Comes with sample slides and all you need to make your own slides. Works indoors and outdoors … specimens do not need to be mounted onto slides! The 16-page colour illustrated instruction booklet, written by naturalist Nick Baker, gives helpful hints about how to get a close-up view of just about anything, and suggests some fascinating subject matter.
