50x-250x Portable LED Microscope

This handheld microscope offers optical magnification from 50x to 250x using optical glass lenses. It measures approximately 15 cm in height when assembled and weighs under 200 g, making it lightweight and truly portable. The unit is constructed with durable ABS plastic housing and features a built-in soft-white LED light powered by standard AAA batteries (not included). It is fully separable into handheld and desktop configurations — the base can be detached for freehand use or reattached for stable surface observation. Designed specifically for UK primary and secondary school science activities, it requires minimal specimen preparation and works with standard prepared slides or everyday natural specimens like leaves, insects, fabric, or coins.
