Flexi-Scope Product Description

Flexi-Scope is an easy-to-use microscope. Hold the Flexi-Scope over an object, focus by turning the focus wheel, then take videos or still images (at up to 200x magnification) using the single control button. Examining items you have around you like sand, chalk, Velcro, strawberries or even lint can awaken the junior scientist in all who want to take a closer look! It’s especially ideal for use in the study and investigation of 3D objects that would not normally fit under a standard microscope.

Learning outcomes to be expected:
