Publisher's Description of MicroMini 20x LED Pocket Microscope - Blue
The, MM-280B (Blue) MicroMini is a 20x, LED Lighted Pocket Microscope that is always at the ready! It is compact, portable and easy to use. It is so small it can fit in the palm of your hand. Clip on to any hand bag or backpack using the attached key chain. Now you can explore anything"anywhere! View fabric, flowers, foliage, printing pixels and more all up close! View the hidden objects in currency with the included UV light.
These are truly small enough to keep in your pocket, purse, or backpack. Take them wherever you go and never miss another microscopic miracle. When I taught science, we would take our handheld microscopes outside to explore, but they were about 6 inches long not really pocket-size. These little scopes are about 1 1/2" x 1 3/4", with a built in UV light, and key chain. Batteries are included (uses 3 G12 batteries), so you can start your exploration immediately. View things like the weave of fabric, the veins of a leaf, even your fingerprints with this 20X microscope. ~ Donna
