FAQS

 

At what age can a kid use a microscope?

Microscopes are suitable for any child three and up. At this age, you can show your child how to use and handle a microscope to see objects. They will have some difficulty focusing the microscope independently and will need to be guided.

 

At ages five and up, your child will be able to use a simple microscope independently to focus for themselves and examine objects. Be mindful of leaving your child unsupervised with some of our models that come with tool kits. We suggest choosing a microscope suited to our recommended age group.
