Unlock tiny worlds and big discoveries with the National Geographic 900× Microscope Set (80‑50101) — designed especially for beginners, students, and curious young scientists. With three magnification levels and a fully focusable lens, this compact microscope brings cellular detail to life.

Powered by AA batteries, the microscope features 5×, 20×, and 45× objective lenses, combined with a 20× eyepiece to reach up to 900× magnification, making it perfect for viewing plant cells, crystals, microorganisms, and more.

The entire kit packs neatly inside a durable hard case, making it easy to transport between home, school, or STEM labs.

Whether you're doing school science projects, building your own “mini CSI lab,” or just exploring the world around you, this 900× microscope set makes learning fun, portable, and hands-on.
