The Easi-Scope is a simple, handheld USB microscope that brings the tiny details of the world onto the classroom screen. Plug it into a computer, hold it over a leaf, a coin, a piece of fabric or a minibeast, and the magnified image appears live on the monitor — no slides or fiddly focusing knobs to fight with. Turn the top to focus and press the single button to capture a still or a video, so children can save what they find and talk about it together. Features: Handheld, plug-and-play USB microscope — connects to a Windows or Mac computer Up to 43x magnification (shown on a 17-inch monitor), with built-in LED lighting Single-button capture for still images and video 640 x 480 VGA image sensor with automatic white balance and exposure Compact and light — about 73 x 50 mm and just 103 g Software included; no batteries needed — it's powered over USB Ways to use it: Project a live magnified image on the whiteboard for the whole class Look closely at everyday objects, plants, fabrics and minibeasts Capture and save images to label, compare and write about Support the 'working scientifically' strand — observing closely and recording Compare textures and surfaces as part of a materials investigation Affordable, robust and genuinely easy to use, the Easi-Scope is a great first step into digital microscopy for the primary classroom.

The Flex-View is a digital microscope that brings real detail within reach — twist the dial to switch between 60x and 250x, and the magnified image appears live on the computer screen. Use it in the hand to explore on the move, or clip it into the flexible stand for a steady, hands-free view, so children can draw, write or take measurements while they look. With four adjustable LEDs and a one-touch snapshot button, it's easy for young scientists to light a specimen well and capture what they see. Features: Dual focal points — 60x and 250x magnification, switched with a twist of the dial Connects to a Windows or Mac computer via USB Four LEDs with adjustable intensity to light specimens clearly One-touch snapshot, plus software for video, time-lapse and on-screen measuring Use handheld or on the flexible neck holder with a suction-cup base Includes a gridded observation board; captures at up to 1600 x 1200 Suitable for ages 3+ Ways to use it: Compare textures and surfaces up close as part of a materials investigation Look closely at leaves, insects, crystals and fabrics at two magnifications Use the gridded board and software to measure tiny objects to the millimetre Capture and save images to label, compare and write about Project a live image on the whiteboard for the whole class Higher-powered than a basic scope and steady on its flexible stand, the Flex-View is a great next step into digital microscopy for primary science.
