Description

Levenhuk LabZZ M1 Microscope is designed for young explorers of the microcosm. With this microscope young scientists will take their first steps in science. The supplied kit includes everything needed for this purpose: easy-to-use microscope, prepared microscope slides, and special tools for working with microscope samples. Kids can manage the instrument independently and explore amazing structures of everyday things.

Levenhuk LabZZ M1 Microscope is equipped with a lower illuminator that allows observations of transparent microscope samples. The range of available samples includes any ready-to use microscope slides, life in a water drop, and many other things. The illuminator is rotatable – one side has a mirror (used in sufficient daytime lighting), and the other side has an LED. The LED is powered by 2 AA batteries (not included).

Besides observing ready-to-use slides included in the package, kids can also create their own slides. A sample is just placed in the center of a blank slide, fixed, and then covered with a cover glass. The most interesting specimens can be kept for future observations.

Levenhuk LabZZ M1 Microscope produces three fixed magnifications: 100x, 200x and 300x. You can choose your desired magnification step by rotating the microscope’s revolving nosepiece. Sharpness is adjusted with a separate knob. The stage is equipped with special metal clips that hold the studied specimen in place during observations.

Features:

  • Simple model designed especially for children
  • Lenses made of high-quality optical polymer glass
  • Magnification up to 300x
  • Battery-powered illumination
  • Lightweight plastic body

Chris Lowrens (2017.05.11)
Hello. Why is this microscope not suitable for observing non-transparent objects? For example, I need to study the cutting edge of the knife. Why couldn't I see it even if I light it manually from above? Is it because of the resolution? Or another reason?
Customer service:
Upper illumination is necessary to observe opaque objects. Optics in this microscope are made of plastic and won't allow you to accurately study the surface. We suggest taking a look at instrumental microscopes instead.
