Explore the microscopic world in a whole new way with the National Geographic 40x–400x Inverted Microscope 80-33566. Designed for beginners and students, this innovative microscope places its optics beneath the stage, making it perfect for observing living organisms in liquid environments without disturbing them. The inverted design also protects the objective lenses and simplifies switching between samples.

With three objective lenses and a magnification range of 40x to 400x, users can study everything from simple cell structures to complex microbial interactions. The adjustable LED illumination provides optimal lighting for different specimen types, while four included color filters (red, blue, yellow, green) enhance contrast and visibility for clearer, more vivid observations.

This microscope comes as a complete lab kit, including prepared and blank slides, a petri dish, specimen tools, a brine shrimp hatchery, and more—everything needed to begin hands-on experiments and scientific discovery. Compact, versatile, and beginner-friendly, the National Geographic Inverted Microscope makes exploring microbiology engaging and accessible.
