The TK2 Microscope for Kids is designed to be a durable, user-friendly introduction to scientific discovery. Though its body is primarily plastic, it offers a surprisingly sturdy build that sits solidly on the table without wobbling—an ideal choice for young, enthusiastic scientists. A built-in side handle makes carrying the microscope safer and easier, allowing kids to transport it confidently with one hand through the handle and one supporting the base.
Equipped with a 10X eyepiece and 4X, 10X, and 40X objective lenses, the TK2 delivers true magnification levels ranging from 40X to 400X. Its optical-grade glass ensures crisp, bright images, while dual focusing knobs accommodate both right- and left-handed users. The rotatable head adds flexibility, letting kids adjust viewing angles as they explore.
Under the stage, a 6-hole aperture wheel (disc diaphragm) allows young users to control the amount of light passing through their specimens—smaller openings for lower magnifications and larger ones for higher detail work. The TK2 also features LED illumination above and below the stage (operable one at a time) and runs on batteries, making it perfect for research both indoors and out.
Altogether, the TK2 Microscope for Kids combines durability, thoughtful design, and educational value, making it an excellent tool for inspiring curiosity and hands-on learning.
