Using GeoSafari Jr. 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.

Superb present
This is a strong and sturdy article and my grandchildren love it.

First Microscope
I would have returned this item had the box and invoice not been accidentally thrown away. It's not very good at all in fact the magnifying glass my granddaughter has is much better, all in all for the money very disappointing

Hopefully just right!
The order was delivered promptly, as expected. This is going to be a Christmas gift (didn't want to risk delays), so won't know how successful it is for some time

Microscope
Was disappointed with the product it is not as robust as I thought it would be. I have been unable to insert the batteries as I haven’t the right tool to undo the very small screw to access the battery compartment all very frustrating.

Fantastic company
Bought for my granddaughter’s fourth birthday which hasn’t happened yet, but this microscope looks perfect. What a delightful company to deal with! Brilliant website and super fast delivery. I really appreciated their personal approach, and the way I was kept so we’ll informed
