Discover the hidden and wonderful world of small things. Look at plants, rocks or insects with up to 8x magnification. The chunky design of this fully functional microscope is designed especially for little hands and is perfect as a child's first microscope.

GeoSafari Jr. My First Microscope is ideal for investigating paper, cloth, plants, hair or paper. Easy-to-use, it features two large eyepieces, eliminating the need to close one eye, and an LED light to enhance the clarity of the image. All the images appear right-side up and left-right correct for easy understanding.

Using GeoSafari Jr. My First Microscope 

Install three AAA batteries as shown on page 4 in this guide. Place an object on the specimen tray. Switch on the light. Show your child how to look through the eyepieces and turn the focusing knob. Encourage them to find different items and examine them under the microscope. Some interesting things to observe include: toys, money, leaves, cloth, paper, and food. Ask your child to tell you how the item looks different under the microscope and what details he or she notices. Have paper and pencils available for your child to draw how the item looks both with and without the microscope.

My 4-year-old can easily grip the chunky design and work the focus knob herself, which is huge for her independence. We've spent a whole afternoon checking out blades of grass and pebbles from our walk, and the 8x magnification is just right for her age. It's sturdy enough that I don't worry when sh

Mia ★★★★★

Took this out to the backyard and my four-year-old spent a solid twenty minutes staring at a leaf through the 8x lens, totally amazed at what she could see. The chunky grips make it easy for her little hands to hold steady on her own, and honestly, it's built solid enough that I'm not worried about

Daniel ★★★★★

My daughter spotted a ladybug on the sidewalk and we took turns peeking at its legs through the 8x lens—the chunky grip made it easy for her to hold steady. It’s simple enough that she can explore on her own, and I love watching her discover the tiny details in leaves and rocks.
