Product Description

What did you do this weekend? Sit around and read a book about the microscopic world? Bet you wish you had seen these slides! With 100X magnification, these prepared slides will have your eyes getting acquainted with the tiniest details. The kit comes with labels to let you know if it's 100x 400x or 1200x for more comfortable usage of this product.

HISTORY

The first microscope to be developed was the optical microscope. Evidence points to the first microscope appearing in the Netherlands in the late 1590s, and was probably an invention of eyeglass makers Hans Lippershey and Zacharias Janssen. There are other claims that the microscope and telescope were both invented by Roger Bacon in the 1200s, however this theory has insufficient proof to back it up. Giovanni Faber coined the name “microscope” for Galileo Galilei’s compound microscope in 1625. Galileo himself had called it the “occhiolino”, or “little eye”.

HOW TO USE

The microscope is ready to go. Just place a slide – pre-prepared or one you’ve made yourself – on the stage and you’re all set to discover the finer details of our world.

HOW IT WORKS:

Using lenses, like in eye glasses or magnifying glasses, the microscope magnifies small objects by refracting (bending) light, allowing us to see the finest detail of tiny things like insect wings, sections of plants, and close-ups of precious gems.
