Introduce young learners to the miracles of a microscope with My First
Microscope! Magnify any small object—flat or dimensional—at 8x with this
working microscope. Two extra-large, easy-focus eyepieces, hand grip,
and a soft, rubberized casing make this the perfect first microscope.

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.
