Terra Kids - Field Microscope 30X Magnification

Looking through a microscope requires different viewing skills, and at 30x the magnification, it is important to note this is different from looking through a typical 3x to 5x magnifying glass. Be patient as you learn to use a microscope like a scientist does and know that it takes trial and error to get the correct image in your lens. The focus wheel will help to bring the items in focus but kids might need to keep their hand steady to maintain the sharpest focus.

Expert tip: Rest the clear plastic ring on the object to be viewed.
