How to use the Microscope

Different ways to use the Microscope

You can use the microscope to look at whatever you want! Place the microscope in the main frame if you 

need precision and a tray, but if you want to take the microscope out and about e.g. in the garden, a 

portable holder has been provided in this kit. It can be stored on the back of the main frame, but when 

needed, remove the microscope tubes from the main holder and click them into the portable holder as 

shown below:

You can also take out the microscope tubes and use them without a holder! Try taking the microscope 

around your house and garden and see what you can look at. Follow us on social media

the holder backwards/forwards until
