The Learning Resources Elite Microscope is a plastic-and-metal beginner microscope for kids 8 and up, with magnification up to 600x. It runs on battery-powered light or a mirror, and the box includes vials, tweezers, blank slides and a hand magnifier. It suits families starting science at home or in a classroom. Compared with metal student microscopes, it is lighter and cheaper in build, so it is a first step rather than a long-term instrument.
