Spider eye microscope

This small portable microscope provides 10x magnification on the move. The unique design allows direct observation of items where they are found, rather than having to gather them up and bring them home. Perfect for studying fossils, stones, seeds, leaves etc. Focus is obtained by sliding the tube up and down and the legs fold away so that it can easily be stowed away in a backpack.
