I LOVE these things. I used these in the classroom when I was a teacher and my high schoolers loved them. Now my own children love them as do the neighborhood kids. They are lightweight and perfect for beginners or young children and you don’t have to worry about them breaking. At such a cheap price, they are a perfect alternative until you can get a microscope. Even after you do, your youngest children will love this thing. It uses focus knobs just like a scope and has a stage just like a scope. Made in the USA of high-impact it uses ambient light. The 9"-H Microslide Viewer has no painted or removable parts and it is completely washable. It uses the microslides and cards sold separately but they aren’t expensive either!

microslides and cards

These cards have between 6 and 8 slides with them, all on one long slide. They cover topics in complete lessons. They are photos of real slides, unbreakable and very true to actual slides. The slide goes into the microviewer. The card that comes with it is a bi-fold card with lessons that correspond to each slide. So your child reads the card, looks at the slide then moves to the next slide, reads, looks, and so on. You get 6 slides and a lesson in one card. I am working on getting an agreement with the vendor to get the worksheets that come with these as well as the teacher’s guide for each. If you order, please check back and look for these items as downloads for free from right here. Microslide and card, worksheet and teacher’s guide w/ key.
