Levenhuk Discovery Nano is a classic entry-level monocular microscope for observing specimens at 40—400x magnification. You can study both prepared slides from the kits and self-prepared slides with this microscope. The microscope is a great choice for the first acquaintance with the microbial world, it enables you to carry out simple scientific experiments at home. It will become a great assistant in studying biology at school. The kit includes everything that is necessary for observations, including accessories as well as the colorful "Invisible World" knowledge book.

The optical system includes achromatic objectives and a wide-field eyepiece. All of the lenses are made of optical glass and, therefore, they render a sharp and contrast image. The microscope enables the observation of small parts over the entire magnification range. The 40x objective is equipped with a protective spring-loaded frame. The monocular head can be tilted 30°, and so you will not get tired when working with the microscope for long periods.

The stage features sample holding clips and a diaphragm disk with six holes for regulating the luminous flux. The microscope uses a dual LED illumination that is placed above and under the stage. This allows for studying samples of any degree of transparency. The illumination is powered by standard batteries that are included in the kit.

The microscope also comes with the "Invisible World" knowledge book. This colorful book explains all the complicated things involved, such as microscope parts and their functions, what bacteria and protozoa look like, what can be seen in a drop of water, and other things all in simple language. Besides theory, the book also describes interesting experiments that can be conducted at home using the Levenhuk Discovery Nano microscope.
