This is the child’s optical device that converts from a microscope to a telescope to educate children about the Earth and sky. Five slides with specimens slip into the microscope’s slide holder for observation. When the telescope is attached, you can observe the night sky or view five different slides that depict galaxies and the moon. Providing 15X magnification on microscope and telescope mode, the scope also includes five blank slides that can be used for dirt, hair, or other small items, for a total of 15 slides. The tripod erects to 41" tall and collapses down to 4 1/4" tall. Includes a needle rod and pair of tweezers for placing specimens on slides. Ages 6 and up. (4 lbs.)
