Meet their next discovery companion →Make the first discovery together. Holding it steady and finding the clearest focus may take a little practice — that's part of getting started.
Start with a dry, flat object: a fallen leaf, a scrap of fabric, or a piece of paper.
Set the clear base against the surface and help your child hold the microscope steady.
Slowly adjust the dial while watching the display. Then ask, “What do you notice?”

For the child who always has another question.

A little help before their first big discovery.
Start with the surface details of familiar objects: the patterns on a leaf, the threads in fabric, or the texture of paper. Choose one object, look closer, and compare it with another.
Make the first discovery together. Holding the microscope steady and finding the clearest focus can take a few tries. Help with positioning and focus whenever they need it.
The image appears on the microscope's built-in display, so no phone is needed for basic viewing. You can watch together and let your child point out what they notice.
