This digital microscope for kids turns the backyard, the kitchen table and the walk to school into a science lab. Point it at a leaf, a beetle or a pinch of salt, turn the manual focus wheel, and hidden details appear on the 2 inch color screen at up to 1000X magnification. No phone, tablet or computer is needed to see the image.
Eight LEDs with adjustable brightness light up whatever is under the lens, and the 2MP camera saves photos and videos so kids can show friends, compare finds or add pictures to a school project. It is small and light enough to carry in a pocket or backpack, which means the curiosity does not stop at the front door.

Ideas to get started
Try fabric threads, a coin, the skin on the back of a hand, sugar and salt crystals side by side, or the veins of a leaf from the garden. For younger explorers, a grown-up can help with focusing at first; older kids will quickly learn to frame and capture their own shots with the digital microscope for kids.
