The National Geographic 50mm telescope and 640x microscope set is a complete beginner science kit that explores both the night sky and the miniature world — all packed in a protective hard case. It pairs a 50mm refractor telescope for viewing the Moon and bright objects with a microscope reaching up to 640x for studying cells, insects, and everyday specimens, making it a versatile first step into astronomy and biology.

A refractor telescope uses a front lens to gather light for sky viewing, while the compound microscope magnifies tiny samples on slides — two classic instruments that introduce young explorers to science from opposite ends of the scale.

Who it's for

Ideal for curious kids and beginners who want an all-in-one astronomy and microscopy kit to discover both the stars and the microscopic world. New to the hobby? See our guide on how to pick your first telescope.

What you'll see

Through the telescope you'll spot the Moon's craters and the brighter planets, while wide, low-power views make targets easy to find. Under the microscope, prepared slides and simple samples reveal cells, plant structures, and tiny creatures in surprising detail — two very different but equally exciting views of the world.
