The Woopie microscope opens up the world of microorganisms, fabrics and minerals to young explorers. Three zoom levels up to 1200x and a phone holder for photos and video.

This kids' microscope is a learning kit for young scientists aged 8 and up. It has three magnification levels (200x, 600x and 1200x) and simple controls, so beginners can manage too. A built-in four-colour filter improves contrast and visibility. A special phone holder lets children take photos and videos of what they see and share their discoveries with the family. Preparation tools, basic slides, sample bottles and a cleaning cloth are included. Available in white or yellow.

What your child develops

• Research skills. Children learn to observe, compare and draw conclusions.
• Curiosity. Everyday things look completely different up close.
• Precision and patience. Preparing slides and focusing take care.
• Hand-eye coordination. Working with tools trains precise movements.
• Creativity. Microscope photos can become their own album.

How to play

Start with the ready-made slides at the lowest zoom. Once your child can focus, look at salt crystals, fabric fibres or a piece of leaf.

Use the phone holder to photograph observations and keep a ‘scientist's diary’ – what we saw and at what zoom.

A great gift

The microscope is a good gift for curious children aged 8 and up – for a birthday, Christmas or the start of the school year.
