Paper Microscope and Field Set

$24.00Price
GST Included

Embark on a journey of scientific discovery with our Paper Microscope Field Kit, which contains a Foldscope microscope and all the equipment you need for collecting samples in the field.

 

The Foldscope is a lightweight, waterproof, and ultra-affordable 140X magnification microscope, allowing you to observe tiny organisms like bacteria and microorganisms, as well as larger samples such as insects, plant cells, fabrics, and tissues.

Crafted from waterproof paper, magnets, and a glass ball lens, it’s engineered for durability and portability. Once assembled, it remains intact for repeated use. Its compact design makes it easy to carry, and it can even be attached to a smartphone for enhanced imaging.

 

Our paper microscope and field set is perfect for collecting and preparing samples in the ‘field’—whether in your backyard, parks, playgrounds, or while out in nature! We’ve also included a field guide to help get you started.
