{"product_id":"levenhuk-rainbow-2l-microscope","title":"Levenhuk Rainbow 2L Microscope","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Rainbow 2L is the microscope we'd point most families and home educators to first. It's a compound microscope with three glass objectives on a turret, a 10x eyepiece angled at 45 degrees, and LED lighting from both above and below, which means it handles prepared slides and pond water as well as a leaf or a coin laid on the stage. Magnification runs from 40x to 400x, which is the useful range for cells, insect parts and plant sections. Our \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/guides\/microscope-magnification-explained\" title=\"Microscope magnification explained\"\u003emagnification guide\u003c\/a\u003e explains why that's enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt runs from the mains adapter in the box or from three AA batteries, so it works at a desk or on the kitchen table. The body is plastic, which keeps it light enough for a child to carry, and the 90 by 90 mm stage has clips, a six-hole diaphragm disc to control the light, and a glass condenser underneath. Focus is a single coarse knob, which is simpler for a beginner than separate coarse and fine controls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLevenhuk's K50 experiment kit comes in the box with five prepared slides, five blank slides, forceps, a dropper, a tiny microtome for cutting thin sections, and a brine shrimp hatchery, so there's something to look at the day it arrives.
