Build Your Own DIY- Microscope

Kids with an interest in assembling their own DIY microscope will delight in the newest Build Your Own kit, which simply slots together and requires no glue. The kit includes a series of pre-cut parts that can be pieced together with the lenses and mirror to create a fully functioning microscope that can be used to examine objects at 30x magnification.

The new Microscope adds to Build Your Own‘s range of toys, which have been designed to encourage kids to immerse themselves in the fun world of science and exploration. A fully functioning addition to any young scientist’s laboratory, the microscope is easy to assemble using slot together techniques, and everything required is provided in the kit.

Perfect for examining garden mini-beasts, leaves, feathers and more, the company says kids will be amazed at what they can see with the impressive 30x magnification. Using the focusing dials, kids can adjust the zoom to reduce or increase the detail of specimens they are examining, and use the light source on a smartphone to light up their specimen. Three trays are also provided, to hold different types of specimen. Kids can also remove the microscope lens tubes and place them in the handheld adaptor to examine objects while on the go.
